34139 - Clicking a link has no result.

Description

[Brad Behm]

This bug has been visible in the last weeks' nightlies, but I didn't report it
because I figured someone would have noticed that hyperlinks weren't working.
Here's the deal :

About 6 times in 10, clicking a link has this behavior:
 - Screen blinks
 - Address Bar blinks
 - URL of link appears in address bar
That's it. The URL will appear in the address bar, but that page doesn't load.
There is no network activity, either -- a packet sniffer confirms that.

Clicking 'Reload', once the new URL is in the address bar, has a chance of
loading the page, as does clicking on the link again. Sometimes you have to
click several (many) times on a link to get it to load (which renders the back
button almost useless).

This isn't 100% reproducible for me, but you can try www.google.com - I can
almost never get search results without clicking the button several times.
