292816 - statusbar does not update correctly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Caleb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050503 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050503 Firefox/1.0+

It seems that the statusbar does not update itself correctly when you close a
tab of a site loading, it leaves the last action that the other site was doing
in the statusbar.

To reproduce
1. Open a blank tab
2. Open another tab with a site that takes a while to load, try
http://www.warp2search.net
3. Once the site starts loading close it
4. Look at the statusbar

You will see that the statusbar bar still has the last action that was being
performed by the other tab, like "Reading.." or "Waiting for..".

Reproducible: Always

Hey Gavin,

First of all I appreciate that you added me to the CC list of that other bug :)

But they're essentially not the same ones. This one seems to affect Firefox only
(and not the Suite).

Plus, I'm not sure what that bug is about, the first comment talks about
javascript tickers.. then the more you dig in it also kinda discusses this issue.

So as I said, it is WFM in the Suita but not working in Firefox.

Duping a bug automatically adds the reporter to the other bugs CC list.

In any case, while the other bug is in the "core" component, the tabbrowsers are
actually forked between Firefox and Seamonkey. That bug takes care of all such
issues, you'll notice it has many Firefox dupes similar or the same as yours.
Any fix there will likely be a global fix, so theres generally no use in trying
to have seperate bugs for each variation of the symptoms.
