If you're a clumsy typist like me, and you mean to type

http://www.mozilla.org

But you slip and hit the \ key when you go for return:

http://www.mozilla.org\

Mozzila will (correctly) tell you it couldn't locate the above server, but will
then store the incorrect URL in your history list, so when you next type in
mozilla, you'll see "http://www.mozilla.org\" as an option, which will lead to
an inability to locate the above server, etc. etc.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See description.
2.
3.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should not store the address of a site that it could
not contact.
