Must defer till M9; this really needs to await Necko since it will be
imposing substantive changes in this area.

is there any status/progress on this?
Blocks: 16654
Gagan has got notifications flowing so the status bar is back to where it was
pre-Necko.  Still need to enhance the progress meter.  May be getting a
volunteer from outside.

Changing to PDT- per discussion of PDT long poles.  The most we could rate as
dogfood is an indication that some progress is taking place.  It is not
necessary to see better percentage values etc. for dogfood.

OK, moving out to M13.

Ooops.  Should be M13.

Sorry to be clueless, but does this bug deal with progress bar and status in
save as dialogues or the page loading status bar at the bottom of browser
window, or both.
This bug refers to the progress meter at the bottom of the browser window.  It
is supposed to switch to thermometer mode when loading big/slow pages (and the
status bar should say something like "3% of 47K at 3.2K/sec").
Good, then I'm in the right place. I was trying to verify bug 16386, which deals
with a trivial spelling error in 'transferring data' that used to appear there,
but I don't see that anymore. Is that related to this?
Depends on: 13374
Added dependency on bug #13374, Travis' webshell work.
Target Milestone: M13 → M14
Moving out to M14 as the requisite changes to the webshell and uri loader won't
happen till post-M13.

*** Bug 20972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Adding this from bug #20972:

1. The progress bar message does not change at all when a new page is loaded.
During loading, it shows the "Document: Done (xx seconds)" message of the
previous page loaded; instead it should display "Contacting server", "Waiting
for reply", etc.

2. If a page load is interrupted, the progress message shows "Document: DOne (xx
seconds)" where xx seconds is the time between clicking on a link and clicking
on the stop button.  This is slightly confusing, since whatever is shown in
theprogress bar should apply to the page currently viewed.
Just FYI, bug #18724 handles mostly this same thing. Should this depend on
it?

whoops, almost thought this had to do with the downloading status dialog.
chatted with claudius, who clarified things (yay) --back to him. :-)

Nav triage team: [nsbeta3+]; look at Don's 2/01 comment
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-] → [nsbeta2-][nsbeta3+]
Adding nsbeta3 keyword to bugs which already have nsbeta3 status markings so 
the queries don't get all screwed up.
Keywords: nsbeta3
I'm going to resolve this FIXED.  Progress/status messages are pretty good 
nowadays.  One sees (typically):

Resolving host <host>
Connected to <host>
Reading <url>
Document: Done

Plus, a percentage read, when applicable.

There might still be some flakiness, but those should be addressed via separate 
bugs (which might already exist, for all I know); those bugs aren't likely to be 
nsbeta3'ers.
