I entered www.ups.com and for some reason ups is not responding.  After a while
the location window switched to "about:blank".  This is annoying because it should
leave the failed address in the window.  Since it doesn't, I'm forced to retype
the failed address.  This is a waste of time if, for example, I just typed
one character wrong and wanted to correct it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type www.ups.com [cr] into location (OR OTHER FAILING URL)
2. wait


Actual Results:  
about:blank
appears and the url I typed is wiped out.

Expected Results:  
leave the original url so I can fix it!
