Works for me using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050122 Firefox/1.0+

How do you create new tabs (Ctrl+T, File->New Tab, New Tab button)?

I can't reproduce this problem either, is this still an issue? Do you have any
extensions installed, if so have you tried running in Firefox safe mode?

Works for me using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru-RU; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

Sometimes (rather often) adress bar updates as it should, but I can't find any
dependancy. A have TabMix Extension installed, but disabling it doesn't help.

BTW, when adress bar doesn't show the correct URL of active tab, the "Search on
current page" doesn't work. Typed word is being searched somewhere in other
tabs, and highlighted in background. This is the most annoing thing...

I've found the plugin casusing the trouble. It is Extended Statusbar v1.0 &
v1.2-enh ( http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=1328 ). After
deinstalling it this bug has disapeared.

Resolving as WorksForMe. Gil, if you can still reproduce this using a recent
build with no extensions, please reopen.
