Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 203102

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Warrington]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

When open a link in a new window or a new tab, the URL of the page I am trying
to visit is not in the address bar after a connection error occurs (Cannot find
website, time out, etc.).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html
2. Try to open one of the links in a new window or tab.
3. Wait for the connection to time out (you may have to visit a different site
to get a "broken" link.).
4. Notice the lack of the URL in the address bar.

Actual Results:  
There was no URL in the address bar.

Expected Results:  
The URL of the page I was trying to visit should have been in the address bar so
I can either try again or correct a mistake. Also, there should be some visible
way or reminding me that an error occured. For example, the icon the the left of
the URL could change into a yellow triangle with an exclimation point in it. The
statuc bar could also retain the error message that appeared in the message box.

This is a duplicate of the Mozilla bug 103720. However, this bug contains some 
suggested features also.
