User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Build ID: 20150122214638 Steps to reproduce: When we type a program name in the format "file.exe", Firefox address bar should be smart enough to look it up with our default search engine. Actual results: Firefox tries to connect to http://file.exe Expected results: .exe isn't a valid TLD and it's unlikely that it will ever be. Firefox should just search for the file names on the web. This is a very common search for people who work with tech support.
