User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

When restoring a previous session the location bar will be blank until the website is contacted or until time out is reached. If stop is clicked while the location bar is still blank the location bar will remain blank, therefore the address is lost. This bug is especially annoying if using dial up or many tabs are open.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. This will require a slower internet connection with multiple tabs open, so
   that there is a long enough delay in loading the website so that the address
   is not placed in the location bar immediately.
1. Restore session.
2. Notice that the location bar does not initially show address.
3. Click Stop while the location bar is still blank.
4. Notice that the location bar remains blank, and the address is lost.
Actual Results:  
The location bar remains blank and the address is lost.

Expected Results:  
The address should always be loaded into the location bar immediately when a session is restored.
