Including this code <link  href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> in a page
will make Firefox request the page URL again. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save out this code to a webserver under your control:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Bug or feature?</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css" title="Default
Style" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="" title="Re-requests page" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Bug or feature?</p>
  </body>
</html>

2. Navigate to it with Firefox.

Actual Results:  
Logfiles (and packet sniffers) show requests for foo.html, default.css, and then
foo.html again.


Expected Results:  
Browser should either detect that the URL has been loaded in this "hit" and
parse the downloaded one (as it should if I were to include, in a single file,
two CSS links to the same URL). OR it should detect that the link is empty and
do nothing.
This is what should happen. See bug 263980 comment 1.
