Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 584658

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[John]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; de-de) AppleWebKit/533.17.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.1 Safari/533.17.8
Build Identifier: 4.0b3

I was surfing the attached URL and tried to reload the page. But I got a "Server not found" error. So I closed the tab. A few minutes later I wanted to check if the server is reachable. I opened a new tab and typed the address in the awesombar. The first entry was that URL but with the swtich to tab option next to it. But this is not possible as the page isn't loaded in any tab or window. Pressing enter resulted in nothing.



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I don't know how to reproduce this with other pages.

I have an addition: 
The page was http://intranet.ooelfv.at/ in this page there is a frame with the content of http://intranet.ooelfv.at/webext2/index.php in it.
So the http://intranet.ooelfv.at/webext2/index.php page was never directly opened but the switch to tab option was enabled for it.

I can confirm this; I get a "Switch to tab" option presented for slashdot.org even though I have no slashdot tab open.
