> TRIM URLS = TRUE [default]   (browser.urlbar.trimURLs -> true)

STR_1 (lower case):
1. Open   http://example.org/#D4ainEW7aw1.jpg   in a new tab
2. Open new tab
3.A) Type or paste "D4ainEW7aw1.jpg" in urlbar
3.B) Type or paste "D4ainEW7aw1" in urlbar
 [urlbar suggestions will appear]
4. Press Down key   [suggestion "Switch to tab" will be selected]
5. Press Up key   [in scenario (A) suggestion "Visit http://d4ainew7aw1.jpg/" will be selected]

AR:
 A) The string in urlbar changed from "D4ainEW7aw1.jpg" to "d4ainew7aw1.jpg" (lower case)
 B) The string in urlbar is still "D4ainEW7aw1", e.g. equal to the string from Step 3

ER:
 The string in urlbar should be equal to the string in Step 3



STR_2 (http:// and /):
1.A) Type/paste "http://d4ainew7aw2.com/" in urlbar (without quotes)
1.B) Type/paste "https://d4ainew7aw2.com/" in urlbar (without quotes)
2. Press Down key or Up key

AR:
 A) Urlbar value was replaced from "http://d4ainew7aw2.com/" to "d4ainew7aw2.com"
 B) Urlbar value was replaced from "https://d4ainew7aw2.com/" to "https://d4ainew7aw2.com"
 I.e. in scenario (A) "http://" and "/" were removed. In scenario (B) "/" was removed.

ER:
 The string in urlbar should be equal to the string in Step 1



> TRIM URLS = FALSE   (browser.urlbar.trimURLs -> false)

STR_3 (the same as STR_1 with different result):
1. Open   http://example.org/#D4ainEW7aw3.jpg   in a new tab
2. Open new tab
3.A) Type or paste "D4ainEW7aw3.jpg" in urlbar
3.B) Type or paste "D4ainEW7aw3" in urlbar
 [urlbar suggestions will appear]
4. Press Down key   [suggestion "Switch to tab" will be selected]
5. Press Up key   [in scenario (A) suggestion "Visit http://d4ainew7aw3.jpg/" will be selected]

AR:  
 A) The string in urlbar changed from "D4ainEW7aw3.jpg" to "http://d4ainew7aw3.jpg/"
 B) The string in urlbar is still "D4ainEW7aw3", e.g. equal to the string from Step 3
 I.e. in scenario (A) "http://" and "/" were added and the string was converted to lower case

ER:  
 The string in urlbar should be equal to the string in Step 3



STR_4 (the same as STR_3 with opposite result):
1.A) Type/paste "d4ainew7aw4.com" in urlbar (without quotes)
1.B) Type/paste "https://d4ainew7aw4.com" in urlbar (without quotes)
2. Press Down key or Up key

AR:
 A) Urlbar value was replaced from "d4ainew7aw4.com" to "http://d4ainew7aw4.com/"
 B) Urlbar value was replaced from "https://d4ainew7aw4.com" to "https://d4ainew7aw4.com/"
 I.e. in scenario (A) "http://" and "/" were added. In scenario (B) "/" was added.

ER:
 The string in urlbar should be equal to the string in Step 1



Note:
Behavior described in STR_4 is very bad, because it's reproducible with input string "www.helloworl", i.e. urlbar can convert that string to "http://www.helloworl/[caret]". Therefore to continue typing I have to delete the slash.
"browser.urlbar.trimURLs -> false" is a workaround for several issues of location bar.

Some cannot be reproduced, some are the expected outcome. Should be one issue per report anyway :(
