When a web page is visited in FireFox which sets the window status in the status
bar (i.e. http://www.alistapart.com), the same status appears in other tabs,
even though the other page did not set a status.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab using File > New Tab
2. Goto www.mozilla.org
3. Open a new tab using File > New Tab
4. Goto www.alistapart.com in the new tab
5. Click on the Mozilla.org tab and look at the status bar

Actual Results:  
The text "A List Apart, for people who make websites" appears in the Mozilla.org
window.

Expected Results:  
Shown the load status for mozilla.org instead (Done or whatever)
