User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0
Steps to reproduce:
Enter text like "myserver:10000", "my.server.com:9000", "error: some message" into address field, texts without protocol.
Actual results:
It asks to open the link in an application.
Expected results:
If it's like "name:number", it should be opened with http: protocol,
if there is space after colon, like "word: text", then it should be searched with default search engine.
Ahi aleexander,
Im using also Firefox 83.0 release, but do i need to install something else on my ubuntu 20 machine in order to replicate this?
because when i put "error: some message" and hit enter, i get a google search for those words.

Hi Pablo,
If I only knew it. I tried to disable all addons, but it brought nothing.
If it works by you, I will try to clear Firefox's profile then.

I tried to remove .mozilla directory, I tried to launch from a new user in its own KDE session - the result was same. Could you please tell me, where I could dig in, to find out what's wrong? Maybe some logs?

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.
Some news: I've reinstalled my OS, from KDE Neon to Kubuntu 20.04.1, keeping the whole home directory. And now it works, with my old profile, as it should. May be KDE Neon has some relationship with this bug?

It sounds like you are using a flatpak install, XDG Desktop Portal, or some similar env that doesn't work well with Firefox yet.
This is a dupe of bug 1618094. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618094#c18 or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618094#c24 or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618094#c32 for workarounds and explanations.
That bug is still being investigated.
