User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206145143
Steps to reproduce:
I've constructed a little website that just hangs so you can try it out.
1. Navigate to http://ezyang.scripts.mit.edu/timeout.php
2. Press the stop button
While this example is contrived, this behavior applies to other situations where a website times out naturally, e.g. DNS is flaky, or Firefox's internal timeout cancels the page load. In this case, a user may very naturally want to reload the page to try again; clearing the URL prevents this from happening.

Actual results:
URL bar is cleared, losing the old URL
Expected results:
Old URL should have been preserved
