Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140605174243 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open URL like this (no TLD and the link contains spaces) http://my_internal_app_wihtout_tld/some url with space/ 2. after the page opened, Come to address bar and try to press enter again. Actual results: Firefox will go to Google search instead of re-opening the page Expected results: Re-open the link again
I can reproduce this. The issue seems to be that we remove the protocol from the text in the location bar, and so you'd need to re-enter it all the time. This is clearly suboptimal. Seems like we shouldn't remove the protocol in cases where we know that the defaulturifixup service will switch to doing a keyword search. Jared, does that seem right to you?

This seems like exposing an implementation detail to work around our fixup code. In bug 693808 there is discussion about creating a whitelist of domains that should not be directed to a search page. We should follow that approach instead.
