Details

Mozilla interprets an URL string like "xyz:xxxxx" (or "find:xxxxx" or any other unknown protocol name) as an attempt to initiate a connection to a host named "xyz", successfully ending up in http://www.xyz.com/ How to recreate: Enter xyz:abcde into the URL field and press return. Expected result: Mozilla should complain about xyz: being an unknown protocol (or whatever the technical name for http:, ftp:, mailto: etc etc is).
Forgot to say: Mozilla 1.0 RC1
Confirmed and to adamlock. URI fixup seems to look for "://" instead of just ":".
