Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141126041045

Steps to reproduce:

I typed a simple division problem (" 1.2 / 5.7 ") into Firefox's address bar.


Actual results:

Firefox attempted to access "http://1.2/" even though "1.2" isn't a valid IP address anyway.


Expected results:

It should have done a Google search for "1.2 / 5.7" (thus enabling Google calculator to give me the result of the division problem).
Sorry -- the actual search was "1.2/5.7"

This is important because adding the spaces makes it work properly.
