[Gavrila]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030614
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030614

When I autocomplete the URL of a page ont the location bar and I click on the
complete URL on the list shown, it loads a it-seems-to-me random
spyware/banner/ads page.

It happend often with www.gentoo.org or other short name. It happened even with
16/06/2003 cvs...



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type first characters of an already visited url 
2.click on the complete URL shown in address autocompletion list
3.

Actual Results:  
It loads a random banner page instead of the URL listed in autocompletion list

Expected Results:  
It should have loaded the URL suggested and selected

It' s a really annoying bug!!

Gavrila, both your user-agent and your build-identifier indicate, that you're
using the Mozilla Application suite and not Mozilla Firebird.

Moving bug over.

That's beacuse i posted with epiphany, cause I'm on a different machine. However
I'm pretty sure of that bug, and here is my phoenix version

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030617 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

This bug should be reassigned to Phoenix since I explained why it showed the
wrong  browser
