185212 - ctrl+enter'ing a URI in addressbar encloses it within "http://www." and ".com/"

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[tnl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

When trying to open a URI in a new tab using ctrl+enter keyboard accelerator,
Phoenix encloses the URI within "http://www." and ".com/", regardless of the URI

Workaround is to merely open a new tab (ctrl+t) and enter URI there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Focus on addressbar (click or ctrl+l)
2. Type in any supposedly valid URI
3. Hit control and enter keys

Actual Results:  
The URI interpreted is one which is the text the user enters, prepended with the
string "http://www." and appended with ".com/".

e.g. try this with "google", and Phoenix will try to get "http://www.google.com/";
try this with "http://www.google.com/", and Phoenix will try to get
"http://www.http://www.google.com/.com/"


Expected Results:  
Mozilla should probably not try to complete the URI, since it will only work for
www .com websites, or be super-smart about it.


I think this bug has been around 0.4; I have also been able to reproduce it
using 0.4 under Linux

This is the new normal behaviour. Use alt+enter to open an URI in a new tab.
Shift+enter adds http:// and .net/
Ctrl+Shift+enter adds http:// and .org/
