1085458 - Search suggestions can throw not-a-site errors like urls

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Comella (:mcomella) [NI reported issues only: ex-Mozilla]]

I'm using Google as the search suggestion provider (Korean locale)

1) Click the url bar
2) Type "news.ycombinator"
3) Hit enter

Expected: "news.ycombinator" is searched
Actual: The site-cannot-be-loaded window appears

This also happens on desktop, so this might be a core issue. I know the desktop team has been working on improving the awesomebar/autocomplete, so maybe this is on their radar.

We're planning to use bug 1080682 to fix this general problem.
