1154245 - Entering 127.0.0.1/1 and the like performs a search instead of loading the site

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[David Gautier]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150403142401

Steps to reproduce:

I write :
127.0.0.1/1
in the URL field bar and I press enter.


Actual results:

Firefox decides to make a search in the configured search engine
for instance :
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=127.0.0.1%2F1&t=canonical&ia=answer


Expected results:

Firefox 37.0.1 should open the URL :
http://127.0.0.1/1

For the same example, Chromium version 37.0.2062.120 Ubuntu 12.04 (281580) (64-bit), open the URL :
http://127.0.0.1/1

If I write :
127.0.0.1/x1
Firefox opens the URL :
http://127.0.0.1/x1

192.168.0.1 — this loads directly. (Bug 693808, comment 6)

192.168.0.1/1 — searches for that with the default search engine, but there's a notification bar asking, “Did you mean to go to 192.168.0.1.? [Yes, take me to 192.168.0.1.] [No thanks]”

To be clear, this only affects paths which only have numbers, ie:

127.0.0.1/a

or

127.0.0.1/1a

does work.
