1517289 - about:blank appears in the Focus URL bar before a site loads and displays the actual URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1447406

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

Originally reported in this Focus issue:

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/focus-android/issues/4081

Steps to reproduce:

Open Firefox Focus with GeckoView enabled and load any webpage.

Expected behavior:

Focus should display the proper URL for the loading webpage and keep it there while loading and after rendering.

Actual behavior:

Firefox Focus shows about:blank in the URL bar during initial navigation to webpage, then when the page renders about:blank is replaced by the webpage's actual URL.

Could this issue be related to about:blank bug 1512803?

P2 because this bug is not urgent for Focus, but [geckoview:fenix:p1] because it will be important for Fenix.

Thanks! Good catch. I'll close this bug as a dupe of bug 1447406.
