In bug 397594, beltzner suggested a follow up bug to track the idea that clicking on the site button ("identity-box" in browser.xul) should restore the location bar in the case where any edits have been made, to prevent confusion in the case where you are viewing SiteA, but have edited the location bar to point to SiteB. This function is currently accomplished (at least on Mac) via hitting Esc.

Sorry for stealing this bug, Johnathan! :-) This simple patch fixes this problem.

Comment on attachment 303071 [details] [diff] [review] Patch (v1) This patch has a simple implementation, but results in a big win by keeping the information in the identity dialog in sync with those in the URL bar. Seeking approval to land this.

Targeting beta4.

I'll check this in today.
