When I open a link in a new tab, this tab has a blank location bar until the
server responds with the content. This is highly annoying for two reasons:

* I can't press Esc and just Reload. (This might be necessary if I'm on a
  dial-up and I got disconnected just before I opened the new tab.)

* When I quit Firefox and restart it, even though I have the SessionSaver
  Extension installed, it restores these tabs as blank.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Very similar to bug 211856 - not sure if it is a dupe?

Timwi, didnt you already filed this bug (bug 211856)? 
Oh, sorry. :/ That was almost two years ago. Guess I must have forgotten. (Is
this really so hard to do that it takes you two years? But then I shouldn't be
saying that because I'm not contributing to this project myself.)
