Don't call url() in sessionPrepare()

[alecpl]

In PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase::prepareSession() we have $this->url(''); which makes that before every test the "root url" is called in the browser. It is very expensive operation here. What if we do $this->url((string)$this->getBrowserUrl()); instead? Or maybe we can get rid of this line at all? Works for me.

It actually annoys me as well. I've even created a blank page for that: so the initial url is a blank page and then a particular test loads a particular url, right after the blank page is loaded.

+1 to this issue. I've implemented the same solution zerkms has noted.

I cannot remember the reason why we do this, I will remove the call as soon as I have a machine where I can run the full suite and verify it's really not necessary.

Done, but will be a BC break.
