Details

(Whiteboard: [2012 Fall Equinox]) 

1.1 release, Win2k (should've tested on the trunk, i know. i'm lazy.)

Steps to reproduce:
   1) Make sure you have a bookmark with keyword 'foo'.
   2) mozilla.exe foo

Expected results:
   The bookmark is loaded.

Actual results:
   Attempts to resolve the URL 'foo'.
Confirming this bug using Mozilla Release 1.3 on Windows 2000 SP3.
Mozilla does not check against any bookmark keywords before trying to resolve
the URL. 
JavaScript: and ftp:// URLs can be opened though, so I guess what's happening is
that if there is no indication of a certain protocol the browser automatically
assumes any parameter to be a http:// link, which is obviously wrong in case of
bookmark keywords.

Possibly still valid request, while I'm not sure that it shouldn't be moved to some other section
OS: Windows 2000 → All
Hardware: x86 → All
Whiteboard: [2012 Fall Equinox]
Valid enhacement but SeaMonkey team will not devote any resources on this. Patches are welcome however.

Probably the easiest way is to support a new command line switch e.g.
seamonkey.exe -keyword foo bar
