160626 - Current URL replaced when friendly error message is displayed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 157004

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Ben Johnson]

When the new friendly html error messages are displayed the current url is
replaced, preventing corrections to the url or use of the back arrow to get to
the previous page.

open browser, type asdf in location box, hit enter. This is returned:

The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.asdf.com.
connectionFailure long description goes here.
Try again
Search for this address


The url line is changed to:

chrome://global/content/netError.xhtml?e=connectionFailure&u=http%3A//www.asdf.com/&d=The%20connection%20was%20refused%20when%20attempting%20to%20contact%20www.asdf.com.


The url line should not be changed. The end user may want to correct a type-o.
Also the back arrow goes back two pages instead of to the previous one.
