Steps to reproduce:
This is tested in both Beta (124) and Nightly (latest as of 2024-12-24).
- Enter the URL bar
- Enter a URL with a space in it, like "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=king penguin"
Actual results:
The spaces causes Fenix to interpret the string as a search query despite the "https://" prefix, and there is also no non-default option to URL-encode then navigate to the URL.
Expected results:
The https:// prefix should make Firefox interpret it as a URL and directly navigate to it, like every other browser including older versions of Firefox on Android.
These URLs are valid. Some APIs expect spaces. Some sites have URLs with spaces. Expecting the user to manually URL-encode the URL or memorize "space is %20" is not a valid interaction.
