298040 - URL blank after "document contains no data"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231393

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Patrick Hogan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When opening a URL by another app and Firefox (through no fault of it's own)
gets a "document contains no data" error, the address bar is left blank. The
address bar should contain the URL so the user can hit refresh and try the page
again as opposed to closing the window and making the external app launch
Firefox again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a webpage that's broken and causes a "document contains no data" error
(timeout maybe?)
2.E-mail the URL to yourself (I used Outlook)
3.Click on the link.

Actual Results:  
Firefox pops up with the error and a blank address bar.

Expected Results:  
The address bar should contain the URL even though the page is invalid. It's
really annoying not being able to hit refresh, especially when it's to a slow
site and the error occurs frequently.
