1175612 - pressing "enter" doesn't work when typing a URL that already exists and removing "/" at the end

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1173202

When you start typing the URL into the location bar and the URL already exists, pressing "enter" will not work when you complete the URL yourself and remove the "/" at the end. I've attached a .gif to illustrate the issue (this doesn't happen in aurora). This issue is reproducible 100% of the time.

Quick description of the .gif:

- once you see the "/" being removed at the end of the URL, I started hitting the "ENTER" key at least 10 times without anything happening

STR:

- create a new clean profile on nightly (use -p)
- type in google.com and press "Enter" (should take you to the website without issues)
- open a new tab and start typing google.com and remove the "/" at the end once you're done typing in the full URL
- pressing enter won't do anything (pressing enter in this state should work without issues)

This could definitely be a big issue for some users who would rather quickly type in the URL and pressing enter rather than selecting a per-existing URL from the location bar.
