1084407 - Trailing slash in location bar no longer prevents search

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1083634

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[joe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141011015303

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter foo/ in the location bar.


Actual results:

Firefox 32
Browser opens http://foo.domain.com (intranet site).

Firefox 33
Browser opens https://www.google.ca/search?q=foo... (my default search provider) with a questions "Did you mean to go to foo?"


Expected results:

Trailing slash should prevent the search, and attempt to load http://foo/. This is similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1047600 with the exception that using //foo does not work in Chrome. Prior to Firefox 33 using 'foo/' to navigate to intranet sites http://foo.domain.com worked in Firefox, Chrome and IE making it my preferred method of browsing to explicit intranet sites.

You need to load http://foo/ instead of foo/

Sorry for missing that.
