745472 - pressing enter on failed URL in awesome bar does not reload if fragment identifier present

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 186371

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Frederik Braun [:freddy]]

Expected Behaviour:

When loading a page fails, going to the awesome bar and pressing enter retries loading the specified location.

Verify expected behaviour without fragment identifier:
1) run tcpdump on loopback interface
2) visit http://localhost:802/foo (it fails, packets go to port 802)
3) focus awesome bar, press enter, same behavior as above

Verify bug with fragment identifier:
1) run tcpdump on loopback interface
2) visit http://localhost:801/foo#bar (it fails, packets go to port 802)
3) focus awesome bar, press enter, no further attempts to connect to host.


This is especially bothersome with web applications that make heavy use of fragment identifiers, e.g. twitter.

I was not too sure about where to file this bug, hope this component OK.
