173386 - Tabs forget links

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104778

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[bongo]

I've noticed much to my dismay that the address bar when using tabs will forget
an address under several circumstances.  

1) If you don't hit return on the address before switching tabs.
2) If a link fails when you're in another tab

In both cases the dreaded "about:blank" appears...
Needless to say this is really annoying, especially when you're sifting through
12 pages at once, reading slashdot, and trying to make coffee.

dupe of "URI written in location bars don't persist tab switching (empty tab
says "about:blank") (URL is lost when switching tabs if the page hasn't been
loaded) (incomplete url is forgotten upon tab switching)"
