User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

The first site i visited was jabber.org then went to craigslist.org and then
left craigslist.org to go jabber.org again but this time the tabbed name
retained the tab name of craigslist which also disabled the back button.  I was
not able to go back to the previos page. BIG BUG.  Finally i typed in the url
and then went to jabber, again the tab name retained the previouse sites name.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit www.craigslist.org
2. Goto the systems adminsitrator section as im looking for job
3. The back button is grayed out
4. Typed new url and went jabber.org but the previous site name in the tab on
the new web site. Another bug. 



Actual Results:  
The tab didnt change names and the back button is grayed out. 

Expected Results:  
Expecting the back button to work and the tab name to reflect the current site.

That said, I've experienced a very similar problem once or twice in Deer Park
Alpha 2, but have been unavailable to nail it down in a test case. Are you using
Deer Park Alpha 2 as well, and can you come up with another test case? We need
to get this bug confirmed.

Stephen,

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3)
Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+ with Deer Park Alpha 2. 

I will try to reproduce this error. Also if there is a snapshot of the nightly
build I will reinstall it with that to see if the problem persists. Like you
said, this is bug appears and disappears. There is no specific way to reproduce it.

Sometimes when visiting sites, usually if one site is timing out or fails for
whatever reason, or has an error of some sort, the tabs and the url displayed on
the url text box are not synchronized. After that, if you press any tab, the url
just doesn't change, even though the tabs and the page changes. I have
experienced this only on Deer Park.
