Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171130114045

Steps to reproduce:

I have some local servers which I work on. When rebooting them, I have to reload the page a few times, to see if the server has fully accomplished the reboot.


Actual results:

When the server isn’t ready, the URL always get’s prepended by "www.".


Expected results:

This is pretty annoying when working with local servers and having to restart them several times, for when "www." gets prepended, the page cannot load anymore.

Because of
• thus problems,
• the prefix being deprecated,
• pretty much every web page not using that (anymore) and
• modifying the user’s input without explicit confirmation,
i vote for getting rid of this injection.
By the way: Your user agent string specifies X11 while I don’t even run X11, but Wayland instead… maybe FF uses XWayland…
