<http://4.msexlafo.com/2m>

This URL is a spam or cloaked URL that has been banned by Google but appeared in my Google alerts. Point is that the URL when opened in IE7 shows HTTP error 403 forbidden. But in Minefield 20090312 it shows totally blank - no error is shown and I checked all the Tools>Options if my settings are causing this behavior.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL
2. Blank page appears
3. Open IE and input same URL
4. IE shows 403 forbidden error
Actual Results:  
Nothing! Blank screen

Expected Results:  
Show the actual error
