286320 - No address in location bar if new tab opened and timeout occurs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 254714

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Erik Wikström]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050226 Firefox/1.0.1

When using the middle-button to open links in new tabs (in background) it
sometimes happens that the request times-out. When that happens the location-bar
of that tab is empty.

This is extremely annoying since I sometimes opens up a lot of tabs while
surfing and look at them firs some minutes later, at which point the page with
the origional link might be long forgotten.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a link (which will time out) in a new tab.
2. Wait for the page to time out 
3. Select the tab

Actual Results:  
The location-bar is empty.

Expected Results:  
The location-bar should contain the address of the page that timed out.

This bug is probably connected to (another symptom of the same problem?) to the
following report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251419
