From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000518

A friend's website set's window.status to a string with his name in it; in Moz,
NSPR 4.73, and IE, the string gets set correctly; however, Moz keeps that string
for the duration of the window's existance, whereas NSPR and IE will reset it
when you leave the site.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL Above
2. Note change in window.status to "jeffrey a. bergamini provincial website..."
3. Go to any other URL/continue surfing.

Actual Results:  window.status is set to the "jeffrey a. bergamini" string, and
won't get reset until a site explicitly sets window.status.

Expected Results:  when going to a new site, window.status should reset to the
default (showing URL of links) after leaving Jeff's site.

Confirming.      I don't see any current bugs filed describing this.

Verified dupe of fixed bug 31997: "Statusbar text set via JavaScript persists
over session"
