From what I remember this happens because we get location change for the initial about:blank page, which clears the urlbar? For some reason that doesn't happen on trunk.

Could this have been bug 936417 (not e10s, but private browsing)?

Comment 3

[Tom S [:evilpie]]

I don't think so. There is some race condition between loading a new tab and loading about:blank.

Mass tracking-e10s flag change. Filter bugmail on "2be0fcce-e36a-4e2c-aa80-0e3d33eb5406".

David, can you still reproduce this problem? I can't reproduce it on Mac with the default newtab/blank page, but maybe you have non-default settings that makes it show up.

Huh - I can't seem to reproduce it anymore. I'll reopen if I ever get reliable STR.
