443891 - When I open a URL in a new tab, it will not show up until I click on the "back" button.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[bm]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0) Gecko/2008061600 SUSE/3.0-1.1 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.0) Gecko/2008061600 SUSE/3.0-1.1 Firefox/3.0

When I open a URL in a new tab, the new tab is blank with title "Loading...". The URL being retrieved will show up when I click on the "back" button.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open <http://www.radiobremen.de/nachrichten/regional/> (This is a german news page).
2. Open some or all of the listed news items in new tabs, using ctrl+click.
Actual Results:  
Some of the tabs keep "Loading...". When I select them, they will display a blank page. I can click on the "back" button which results in displaying the correct page.

Expected Results:  
I expect the selected page to be displayed immediately in the new tab.

While the tab says "Loading...", "lsof -i4" does not show any open connections to www.radiobremen.de:80.

I have installed the addon "user agent switcher", but it is set to "Default" so I hope it does not interfere with the described problem.

Works for me, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0

Does the problem also occur in Firefox Safe Mode?
