When you open a link in a new window, Mozilla does not immediatly place the url
in the location bar of the new browser window.  The url only gets displayed if
the page starts being loaded, and not when it is aborted or fails to load.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:If you are using the attached html code, you can just attempt
to open the link in the new window.  Otherwise, you must abort the attempt to
load the page, or cause some other error before the page loads (i.e. when
resolving or contacting host).

Actual Results:  In the race condition, the url will remain blank after you
abort loading in a new window.  Attempts to reload the page fail.

Expected Results:  The url should be printed in the location bar so that reload
attempts are possible.

The following example HTML can be used to reproduce the problem:

<html>
<body>
<a href="http://www.invalidhost.org/test2.html">test2.html</a>
</body>
</html>
