  1. Enable Omnibar/Megabar (the default now)
  2. Enter "105m/60s"

Expected result:

Google search, which gives the correct answer.

Actual result:

Firefox "completes" this to http://www.105m.com/60s, which a) Is nonsensical b) Does not exist. The domain 105m.com doesn't even exist.

Chrome works correctly.

I think the www and .com are getting added in docshell due to URI fixup on load, here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/1db5ef59eba65d32d6a29a494e87b6078453e559/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp#6293

But even before that, as far as the address bar is concerned, it's still trying to visit http://105m/60s. So this is similar to bug 1610865. I'd be surprised if there aren't other similar older bugs.

As a workaround, you can type "? 105m/60s" to force a search.
