1710632 - Searches containing newline/linebreak pasted into address bar result in Amazon button

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1709971

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Niels]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

Copying a multiline search text into the address bar for a default Google search, then pushing enter.

Actual results:

Immediately, an Amazon search button is displayed in an empty address bar, but only if the pasted search text contained multiple lines with newlines/linebreaks. Without the linebreak, the expected standard Google search results are shown.

Expected results:

Before the current version (FF 88), there was no difference between pasted search text with or without linebreaks (linebreaks are converted to blanks during pasting). Also, I have never seen this weird Amazon button. Google is still my standard search engine and the Amazon search shortcut is disabled. I have no Amazon addons installed (actually, I have not installed any addon recently).
