1042571 - Address bar search doesn't work for single words.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 693808

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Ben]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140605174243

Steps to reproduce:

Type a single word into the address bar. It breaks with any word but for sake of example lets go with 'banana'.


Actual results:

The following message is displayed in the browser.

Network Error (dns_server_failure)

Your request could not be processed because an error occurred contacting the DNS server.
The DNS server may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem.

For assistance, contact your network support team. 


Expected results:

I expected to see Google search results for bananas. 

If I type in two words, for example 'banana hammock' (warning, close your eyes), the search functions normally. 

Additional info - not sure if this is useful but I use Mac OS 10.9.4.

Good news, we just fixed this! Bad news, it'll take a while until the version with the fix is released - in the meantime, you could use the Aurora channel (https://aurora.mozilla.org/).
