Confirming with Mozilla 1.8a5 2004102805 on WinNT4. 

Networking is not completely blocked, only auto-complete and opening pages from
URL bar. You can use bookmarks. So it is not bug 74331.

Is Bug 143359 related?

Hmm ... at present it looks related to bug 74331. Behavior has changed with 1.8x.

Confirming. I can reproduce this with firefox 1.5b1 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4). Sample narrative:

1) Open two windows, A and B.
2) In window A, select File->Print to open the print dialog.
3) In window B, type "www.mozilla.org" into the URL bar & hit <enter>

Expect: www.mozilla.org loads and URL bar changes to "http://www.mozilla.org"
Actual: www.mozilla.org loads, but text in URL bar doesn't change.

4) In window B, hit ctrl-T to open a new tab.

Expect: New tab opens, URL bar blanks (my pref is for new tabs to be blank)
Actual: New tab opens but URL bar continues to display "www.mozilla.org".

5) Type "www.slashdot.org" into the URL bar and hit <enter>.

Actual: As before, www.slashdot.org loads, but "http://" isn't added to URL bar.

6) Click on the www.mozilla.org tab to switch tabs.

Expect: The window switches tabs.
Actual: Nothing happens.

7) Close window A's print dialog.

Actual: All of the URL bar changes and tab switches happen at once.

Sorry for the spam. I meant to add that the the print dialog blocked URL bar
autocomplete for me, as mentioned in comment 1. Also, I use the flashblock
extension, and it was nonfunctional during the test. A flash object on slashdot
loaded and displayed without any interferance from the extension.
