If a user taps on the white spaces on the awesome screen several times and then continues to open a website under one of the categories (Top Sites, Bookmarks, Recent History), the "Navigation App Bar" will not be visible while the website is being loaded. - Attached a short video as this could be difficult to explain, notice that the second time around the navigation app bar isn't visible when the website is loading Steps to reproduce the issue: 1) Open Firefox Metro 2) Select "About Us" under the bookmarks (notice that the Navigation App bar is visible while loading) 3) Once the website has been loaded, select the "New Tab" overlay 4) On the awesome screen, tap on the white spaces several times (2-3) and then select "About Us" again (notice that the Navigation App bar is not visible while the website is being loaded) Current Behavior: - Navigation App Bar not always appearing when loading websites Expected Behavior: - The Navigation App Bar should always be visible when loading new websites, it should be dismissed once the user either taps on the website Used the following build: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-07-07-03-11-38-mozilla-central/

confirming - seems to have something to do with flipping back to the already opened tab.

Basically a one line fix with some cleanup. We shouldn't call dismiss from peekTabs which also dismisses the nav bar. The nav bar should always be visible unless the user edge swipes.
