299517 - New tab and url bar are not properly instantiated when an applet has been loaded in another tab.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Having a tab loading a java applet, will break opening a second (empty) tab.
What I see is that the second tabb (which should be empty) still has the url in
the navigation bar from the 1st tab (with applet), navigating to a page in the
2nd tab, will actually open the page in the 1st tab.

So somehow it thinks that the two tabs are the same.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close browsers, open http://java.sun.com/applets/other/Bubbles/index.html in
your first tab.
2. Open a new tab (notice the url stays the same in the second tab?)
3. Navigate to any URL in the 2nd tab (from history of navigation bar). The page
loads in the 1st tab instead of the 2nd.



Expected Results:  
Page to load in right tab and not have the url of the first tab.

Might be relevant as well:
Java version: 1.5.0-b64

This sounds familiar to me. Would not be surprised if some one has reported this
before.
When I open the customize window first the problem does not occur.

I mean: first load the applet, next open the customize window, then open new tab.

Indeed, weird behaviour, I think I started seeing this after they added the
"movable tabs".
