Comment 2

[Chris Neale]

there is a quirk to this patch :

if a URI is entered, and 'go not clicked'/'enter not pressed', this URI remains
in the urlbar when you switch to an existing tab, which I suppose is less of a
problem than the URI disappearing, to be replaced by about:blank

I noticed that Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird need different patches to solve this
issue.

This bug depends on but is *not* a duplicate of 104778.
