When using the location bar to use a search engine, I sometimes accidentally hit
[enter] instead of first selecting the "Search Google for KEYWORDS".  This
causes mozilla to try to contact "www.KEYWORDS.com".  usually those keywords
contain spaces and such, and are not a valid web site.

After this happens, reselecting the location bar and pressing [down arrow] to
bring up the "search for..." option, then actually selecting this option,
mozilla still trys to contact the erraneous web site, and not the search engine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the location bar
2. Enter keywords separated by spaces (ex: fuzzy bunny)
3. Press [enter] - mozilla will try to contact www.fuzzy bunny.com, which is
invalid because of the space
4. Error dialog is displayed, press enter.
5. reselect location bar, either ctrl-L or mouse
6. Press [down arrow] to show list
7. select "search google for fuzzy bunny"
8. press enter


Actual Results:  After the completion of step 8, mozilla tries to once again
contact www.fuzzy bunny.com, which yields the same error as in step 4

Expected Results:  Mozilla should this time send the keywords to google (or
where ever), and the search results be displayed as normal.
This looks very similar to Bug 131648

It is also possibly related to Bug 34943 and Bug 115539

This bug is quite annoying and I really hope it'll get fixed.

Marking as a dup of a later bug because 135363 has more dups, a patch, and a 
summary that's easier to search for.
