If you goto a website and then open a link in a new tab

close this tab, either the new first (current) tab will be now completlly blank

or if you have more than 1 tab open, the first/last tab will be blank, going to
this tab and then to another will cause all tabs to be blank, opeining a new tab
(blank or from external link) will render properlly

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open firefox, 
2.open a new tab (from link or external link)
3.close either tab, top tab will now be blank
3a. or if more than one tab is open at the time, first/last tab will be blank,
visiteing it will cause all tabs there after to go blank

4. opening a new tab (from external or blank) will render properlly, but closing
the defunct tab/s can cause this tab to turn blank

Actual Results:  
tabs become blank, even if refreshed and page says loaded, (even source shows
nothing)

Expected Results:  
tabs to render properlly (source to show on tabs if  applicable)

Do you see this when you start Firefox with ./firefox -safe-mode?
(firefox/firefox-bin must not be running when you start in safe mode.)

When did this regress?
Can you see it in yesterday's trunk build?
It might be a regression from the last patch from bug 281709.

k bit extra

say you have tabs

1 2 3

going to 1 from 2 = non-render goes blank
going to 2 from 1 = normal
going from 1 to 3 = normal, but now you cant go to 2
going 3 to 2 = non-render

going backwards or closing a tab ahead of your current causes it to non-render,
closing a tab thats behind

1 2 3
on 3 cosing 2/1 okay can render normal from there, but you cant go back to 2 if
you closed 1

closing a tab ahead, 1 2 3, on 2 close 3 = non-render of all, until new tab is
opened from exterrnal/new tab

Reporter, you have still yet to test this in safe-mode. This could very well be
an extension-related problem that continues to appear because you are using the
same profile. ./firefox -safe-mode

This sounds like what I am seeing in Seamonkey - bug 310595.

yeah thats the same (as linked from that bug to this)

Comment 11

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

This should be fixed in tomorrow's trunk build, because of the back-out of bug
281709's patch.
