Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

When I type apple.pear in address bar and press enter,

Actual results:

it tries to visit the website as a URL

Expected results:

but instead, it should search for it. Why? .pear is not in the TLD list. Since there are two options for the search bar:

  • Use the same text field
  • Have a separate text field for searches
    for the users who have chosen the first option, Firefox should check TLD list to decide between searching and visiting.
