758528 - Blank URL field for loaded page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Jim Carr]

Attachment: PNG of www.macintouch.com with blank URL field

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0
Build ID: 20120516113045

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox 13.0b4--new behavior since 13.0b3. At least 10 times over last few days I have found windows open in background, windows minimized or new windows that have been created by selecting a link in Firefox and asking to open in new window. I have not figured the pattern and not consistent. Mac OS X 10.6.8, all updates.


Actual results:

Window has page content but URL field is blank so I can't refresh content.


Expected results:

URL should remain in URL field so page can be refreshed or link copied.

Just installed 13.0b5 and after restart opened <http://download.cnet.com/mac/3151-20_4-0.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody> in new window. Same result.

<https://dl.dropbox.com/u/66822934/cnet.jpg> is an image of the cnet page above with URL field blank.

Adding to description--I frequently quit Firefox saving open pages so I can relaunch either for new beta or to clear memory and pick up add-on updates.

At least one of the saved pages re-opens with URL field blank.

This issue is still present in Firefox 18.0b2. I see it on a daily basis. OS X 10.7.5 now.

Also seeing blank field sometimes after opening new window and selecting a page from my bookmarks.

This issue was fixed for me in 19.0b6 and remains fixed in 20.0b1.

I will consider this resolved.
