This is a regression in deer park alpha 1 and alpha 2 relative to Firefox 1.0.4.

Open a pdf file in one tab; I've included an adobe url as an example.  Then
create a new tab (via File->New Tab).  The new tab will open on top of the old
tab, but
the window titlebar will not change (ala bug 250423).  Type a new url in the url
bar and hit enter.  The url will load in the old tab, still sitting behind the
blank new tab.  The same occurs if you type a search in the search bar -- the
search results load in the old tab with the new tab sitting on top.

(This is very annoying!)  

Reproducible: Always

Dupe of the bug 288620 ? This bug has much better title though.
