1263788 - Forward slash after backslash in address bar causes "Visit site" suggestion to expose JSON

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1233672

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: actual.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160407164938

Steps to reproduce:

I started an empty profile in Firefox 45.0.2. I immediately went to the address bar, cleared it, and typed in "google.com/\" (without the quotation marks).


Actual results:

The only suggestion below the address bar was:
Visit {"url": "http://google.com/\", "input":"http://google.com/\\"}

This means that the address bar's text may not have been properly escaped beforehand and thus caused the suggestion to display in JavaScript object form rather than as a readable URL.


Expected results:

The suggestion that should have come up was:
Visit http://google.com/\

However, in order for this intended result to appear, currently I have to enter two forward slashes.
