70149 - What's Related links don't load related sites

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57290

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

BuildID:    

What's Related links in SIDEBAR don't load related sites, they load other
"what's related" reports in the SIDEBAR. For instance, visit
http://www.alistapart.com/ and projectcool.com is listed as a related link.
Click the projectcool.com link and projectcool.com should load in the browser
window. Instead you get a listing of What's Related to ProjectCool. The browser
window refreshes for no reason; the site in the browser window does not change.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Sidebar
2. Choose What's Related
3. Alexa database shows related sites
4. Click any related site.


Actual Results:  A new Alexa database fills the sidebar: the database that tells
what's related to the site link you clicked. The related site does not load in
the browser window. The browser window refreshes meaninglessly, but when it
finishes refreshing what you see is the same site you started with. Not the site
whose link you clicked.

Expected Results:  You expect to see the site whose link you clicked.

bug 57290 supposedly contains the what's related problem. If the url location
bar updates to the site correctly, but the content of the site is not displayed
in the main browser frame, then it's bug 57290. Else it's something else.

From my testing, this looks to be a dupe of bug 57290. The URL bar is correctly
updating, the page just won't load. Marking a dupe, if you disagree, please reopen.
