Misspelled URL's are saved in the adresbar. If i try to connect to
www.mozilla.rog, www.mozilla.ogr and then the correct www.mozilla.org all three
are saved and suggested next time i write www.mozilla, even though two of them
are invalid.

It would be nice if misspelled URLs that doesn't go anywhere isn't saved at all.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to connect to www.mozilla.ogr, www.mozilla.rog and www.mozilla.org
2. Write www.mozilla in the adresbar
Actual Results:  
All thress adreses are shown and not only the valid.

Expected Results:  
Not shown the missepelled adreses that it was unable to connect to in the first
place.
