User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:87.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/87.0
Steps to reproduce:
Search "Einstein@Home" in the url bar.
Actual results:
Redirected to https://home
Expected results:
Search with selected search provider (in this case the default).
Note that this works for any "string"@"string2" combination, with the URL directing to attempting to resolve a webaddress https://"string2"
This "@Home" case is a particular issue given the existance of projects like BOINC and Folding@home.
Chromium and Epiphany do not do this, and instead resolve the search.
Woops error in my comment above. I meant to say "the issue appears" instead of "that this works"

:bobsfree, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

I think this always worked like that, probably not a regression.
what you typed may indeed be a a url of kind user@host. Here we should probably decide what to do about host, probably we should check if the host is in the allowlist of local hosts, and consider it a search if not.

For now you can workaround the poblem by typing a question mark before the search, or entering search mode (CTRL+K or click on a search engine in the panel) instead of normal mode.
