1023612 - Two clicks on "Go" button needed after manually editing URL in location bar (which triggers auto complete dropdown)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 990846

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Patrick Storz]

When editing the URL in the location bar, the auto complete dropdown is triggered. The problem is that the dropdown gains focus and therefore two clicks on "Go" button are needed afterwards to visit the new URL (one to close the dropdown and one to actually open the URL).

It should however always be possible to open the new link with only one click on the "Go" button.


Detailed steps to reproduce:
* Visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
* Click into the location bar and delete "Main_Page"
* The auto complete dropdown should pop up
* Now try to use the "Go" button to visit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
* Notice how the first click only closes the dropdown
* Only the second click actually opens the new URL


I noticed this behavior starting with Firefox 29.0
