>>> My Info: Win7_64, Nightly 47, 32bit, ID 20160224030246
STR:
1. Open http://example.org/#D4ainEW7aw5.jpg in a new tab
2. Open new tab
3. Type/paste "D4ainEW7aw5.jpg" in urlbar (without quotes)
4. Press Down key to select the url from Step 1 in suggestions list
5. Press Right key to collapse suggestions list
6. Press Ctrl+T to open new tab
7. Press Ctrl+W to switch back to the tab from Step 2.
AR: Urlbar is empty
ER: Urlbar value should be the same as in Steps 4, 5 (i.e. http://example.org/#D4ainEW7aw5.jpg)
(!)Correction:
Actual Result is "Value in urlbar is 'D4ainEW7aw5.jpg' ". The expectation is written correctly.

I think this is a dupe of a bug I just wontfixed.
Since nothing was confirmed in the first tab, it may be fine to just revert the urlbar contents, I don't think we care enough about this use-case.

Nothing would be confirmed indeed, if only I pressed Escape key instead of Right key.
Right key is clear indication that I want to see this item in urlbar.
Why Wontfix instead of leaving it open for several years?

To avoid giving false hopes? We should be more aggressive on that, having bugs lying around for years doesn't help anyone.

I use Firefox while encountering a lot of problems only because I hoped that hundreds of long-standing bugs AND at least half of the bugs I reported will be fixed.
Currently there're bugs in everything because each widget tries to do more than it actually can.
If everything is as bad as you say, I think there was no sense to file any bug I encounter...

I'd say it's rather the opposite, all the bugs filed are useful, but not all of them can be fixed.
