Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231393

Description

[Bill Toulias]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When a user tries to open a web page within a new tab, if the page fails to load
(badly typed url, host currently down, web page not found, timeout, etc.) the
original url that the user was trying to browse IS NOT available in the location
bar. 
And if you're in a news site and tried to about -let's say- 20 news items, and
two of them time out, there's no easy way to know which where they or to try to
reload them (by hitting enter in the location bar).

It's REALLY annoying...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right Click a link, "Open link in new tab"
2.the new page times out
3.Your press the tab header to go to the new tab
4.There is no clue which was the URL that timed out...

Actual Results:  
There is no URL in the location bar of the tab.

Expected Results:  
Write the URL of the trying-to-browse-to webpage, whether it responds and loads
correctly or not.
