Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.2-3 Severity: normal
Hi. This is actually a usability bug that goes back to the old Mozilla Suite. If you open several links on a page (as I often do on news sites) using tabs (or new windows) for these links and some of them cannot be loaded for any reason you will not have the URL available for copying/bookmarking etc. This is because, strangely, the URL is never written in the empty location bar of the new browser tab (or window). After my oppinion the URL should be written there at once, even before the browser starts trying to access the webserver. Also it should be possible to bookmark such URLs. One could argue you can do so on the originating page. But then, if you have opened many links that way, maybe from several news sites' pages, it becomes cumbersome and difficult to find these links.
