If I type in a gobbledegook, invalid domain name in the url bar, hit enter. The
trobber throbs for a second, stops, the browser pane stays unchanged, and the
status bar shows Document: Done (0.931 secs)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://www.sdhsdfhgsdjf.com in the address bar
2. Hit Enter
3. Watch as nothing happens
4. Be confused as you don't get an explanation of why nothing happened

Actual Results:  The view-pane (main area) remains unchanged, the throbber
throbs briefly and everything stops

Expected Results:  I would expect some kind of explanation giving some kind of
indication to the user what had gone wrong (I'm sure this has been there until
very recently)

Dupe of bug 86133?
Yeah, I think it was posted shortly after mine
I mark this as a dupe of bug 86133.
(bug 86133 is already confirmed)

Definitely a dup of bug 86133 (bad url's dont tell you they cannot be found) and
verifying as such.
