Whenever you follow a link or change tabs in this version of firefox 7th May2005
nightly trunk build (got it on the 8th), the URL bar doesn't change to match the
new loction.
The URL shows an image taken when I had just gone from google to slashdot. 
Also, not entirely related and probably already reported, it didn't add http://
onto the front of the URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new tab
2. Go to a website
3. Open second tab
4. Go to a different website
5. Change back to the first tab
Actual Results:  
The URL *didn't* change!

Expected Results:  
changed the URL bar to match the URL of the page I was currently viewing.

This is no longer the case (don't know when it stopped being it but I downloaded
the 24/05/2005 nightly build and it works fine now).
