saw this in the previous build, and it's still in 2000082513 m18 linux:

go to http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/
As the banner on top of page starts loading the URL-bar is refreshed
displaying the URL to the banner instead
(for instance http://m.doubleclick.net/viewad/400517-zt_banner_60x468.gif)

History list doesn't seem to be affected by the bug.
And Redhat is no special case, only one of the sites i've seen the phenomena the
past 24 hours.

I think the redirect in the image's SRC URL is causing this code to fire an 
OnLocationChange event:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/uriloader/base/nsDocLoader.cpp#1392

The chrome gets the onLocationChange notification and updates it's URI 
incorrectly. CC'ing author of this code.
nice analysis adam. I think this bug belongs to me and dp. This is pretty
serious. the good news is I think it should be easy to fix.

Thanks blake.

bumping up priority. this is basically "data loss" as you lose the url of the 
page you are currently on. you can't reload the page, copy the url, do anything 
to it. it's gone.

This one seems to have resurfaced.
Try go to http://www.digitoday.no/dtno.nsf/wframe/allesaker
In NC4.77 that url sticks in URL field.
In mozilla it changes to some banner address instead.
This messes up bookmarking, history and all pretty much.

Tested with current linux CVS.
Never mind. jrgm just filed bug 81769
