If a bookmark url contains existing keywords when selecting it from the menu or
the sidebar, an alert sheet appears saying immediately that the url is invalid.
If you type the same keyworded-url in the Location field, it works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a bookmark "A" "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=%s" with
keyword "="
2. type = 183935 in the location field it works
3. Make a new bookmark "B" with url "= 183935" (no keyword in the k. field)
4. Select B from the bookmarks menu
Actual Results:  
Alert sheet, invalid URL

Expected Results:  
Accept the keyworded-url

So you want bookmark keywords to be applied recursively? Why would you want to
do that?

seems like a very specialized feature request.

I don't want that, I just try to find 'strange' behaviors.
See Bug 185985 comment 7 :
"I think all URL fields must react in the same way, no matter where they are."

Using Chimera/2003021707, I confirm the error dialog is shown. I leave it up to
Chimera's developers whether or not that's a problem, though.

WFM using 20050124 NB. We now accept any kind of bookmarks no matter what. We
only show a shee if the url can't be found because it doesn't exist. Closing.
