Title: Failed page loads sometimes redirect to about:blank instead of displaying errors Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: To replicate: 1: Use Firefox with an unstable internet connection 2: Right-click a link and select "Open Link in New Tab" (the bug also occurs when navigating the current tab to a new page, but much less frequently) Expected results: The new tab should always contain one of the following: 1: The new page, to the extent it has loaded 2: An error message with a "retry" button Actual results: Sometimes instead of the error message: the tab will redirect to about:blank. This includes the address bar, so the only way to try again is to close the tab and try again from the initial page.
