326387 - (stbar.refresh) Status bar shows text about the website even after closing the tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Sterex]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

The status bar does not update quickly enough, sometimes takes a very long time. When switchting from and to various tabs, the status bar shows the info about a tab at random. Even after closing a tab, the status bar shows the information from the website that was seen in the closed tab.

I guess the status bar does not refresh itself very quick. And even if it does, i wish firefox treats each tab as a different window and update the status bar text accordingly.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 3 websites in different tabs.
2. Click a link on each of them.
3. Now switch tabs and look at the status bar.
4. Close one of them, and check the status bar again.
Actual Results:  
The status bar shows info about the website that was being viewed in the closed tab.

Expected Results:  
The status bar must have showed information about the active tab.

Theme - Firefox Default
Website - Any (try Google Mail also)
