This bug is nearly identical to bug 302575, however, it is slightly different.  Due to comments on bug 302575, seemed best to create this new bug.

Essentially, the address bar will stop updating itself, when navigating named anchors, after you have partially changed text in the address bar.  See steps to reproduce.

Please see comments, #66 and onwards in bug 302575 for a detailed dialog of what is going on with this bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Step 1: Navigate to a page that uses named anchors
(ie. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302575)
Step 2: Click in the location/address bar, and add some extra characters to it.  DO NOT PRESS ENTER (this is where the bug is different than 302575)
(ie. your address bar should look like: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302575asdasadasda, for example)
Step 3: Start navigating within the named anchors (ie. click on #30)





Actual Results:  
Result: Address bar will not change to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302575#c30 as expected, instead, it will say as it was in Step 2 (ie. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302575asdasadasda ).

Expected Results:  
Expected Result: If user starts navigating in the current firefox page/tab, the address bar should start updating again.


Works fine if you navigate using regular links, but not named anchors.
