Hi !
That is a problem, but not only in Mozilla.
I use Mozilla pages/windows many time to search documents, news, etc.
But I have a problem when a network error caused by the os.
When this happened, the addresses are vanished, because Mozilla is put the
address to address bar only in successfully located page...

Example: yesterday I open many (15) windows with mailing lists links, news, etc.
But the newly installed firewall sofware is block all operation.
I cannot see this, because I browse in mails, and not see the results.

In this time I lost these addresses, because I need to restart the system, and
in the browser I cannot see the choosed addresses.

I think, that Mozilla is will be better than other browsers if it is can show
the needed page address before it is loaded !
A small visual control needed, with address, or a label what I can copy, and can
store in other way.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a mail contained address: http://membres.lycos.fr/marat/delphi/python.htm
2. Click in it
3. Mozilla want to open this page, but that is not working.
4. Mozilla is show error, but the address is vanishing.
5. If I delete the mail previously, I lost the information

If Mozilla have a status line with complete address (this is the address which
the Mozilla get in input parameters), and with copy possibility, that is make
chance to get back the address, when any error occured.

And another case, when this function is good:
If I quickly search, I write the words to address bar.
In this time when I not get the good result, I lost this typed string.
When caller parameters are stored, I can get it, and I can copy to Google search
 editbox in rigth side of Mozilla.
