921970 - URL disappears from navigation toolbar if page not loaded yet and we refresh or stop the page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 891452

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[t8av]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:23.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/23.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130814063812

Steps to reproduce:

1. I watched a webpage the includes some links.
2. I clicked one of the links using the middle mouse button (to open the link in a new tab).
3. Few seconds (around 10) passed, but the page did not start loading yet. Probably because of internet slowness. I think the exact reason is not important here.
4. I clicked "stop", using keyboard ESC, or using the X sign in the navigation toolbar.

(Sometimes instead of #4, I simply click the refresh sign or F5, but I get the same thing).



Actual results:

The URL disappeared (was deleted) from the navigation toolbar, so I could not refresh the page to restart the loading.
I had to click the URL again in the original page (if I kept it still open).



Expected results:

The URL should stay in the navigation toolbar.

This seems to be same as bug 616938.
And Bug 616938 is duplication of bug 610357.
