496125 - When I get a wifi access bounce page, it destroys the original URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 479752

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[tz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042523 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.0.10

I just launched Firefox with 10 tabs.  Every one went to the "Firefox automatically prevented" message with a link to the hotel's "you are using our system" bounce page.  I closed it, but when restarting it came up to the "firefox automatically prevented".  Had I not had the warn on redirects off, I would have gotten 10 identical bounce page tabs.

It should add to the tab history if the URL goes to a completely different site, or simply refuse the redirect.  The warnings should remember the ORIGINAL url which is in the address field, and reloading the page justs gets the same bounce page redirect warning instead of the original site.  Any request to replace cnn.com with myhotels.wifiservice.com should REMEMBER CNN.COM, not the bounce!  If it is going to bounce, it should remember CNN.COM in the history.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load several diverse URLs into tabs, e.g. cnn.com, yahoo.com, google.com, close, saving the session.

2. Find a wifi system, network, or hotel with a bounce page, click I agree to access or such.

3. Restart firefox in that wifi area.
Actual Results:  
Bounce pages for every tab WITH THE ORIGNAL URL COMPLETELY DESTROYED, NOT IN HISTORY, COMPLETELY GONE.

Or the redirect blocker "remembers" the bounce page, so it blocks redirection, but other than doing a cut-paste on the url in the address bar, I can't get the "firefox prevented..." page back to the original page.


Expected Results:  
Any of the following:

a. I would be able to use the back button after clicking through the bounce page to get back to the original URL.

b. The redirect blocker would allow me to refresh TO THE ORIGNAL URL after I opened a new tab and gone through the bounce page.  The original URL is in the title bar, and there should be a "back" button on the "prevented redirect" page.
