218217 - Address bar autocomplete sends me to an unknown URL.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 178262

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Vicki Robinson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Typing a url into the address bar produces a drop-down menu of
previously-visited urls that match.  However, choosing one of those options from
the menu sends me immediately to http://www.web1000.com/  , Web1000.com --
Premier Web Hosting in a new tab.  Completing the desired url by typing works
fine, it's just choosing from the drop-down menu that does this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit a web site.  Now, go to another web site.
2.Begin to type the url of the first web site in the address bar. Type enough to
disambiguate it from anything else in the browser's history, then choose the
correct url from the drop-down menu that appears below the address bar.


Actual Results:  
I am taken to http://www.web1000.com/ in a new tab.

Expected Results:  
It should have taken me to the first web site that I visited and chose from the
history drop-down.

I'm using Skypilot Classic Trunk.
