If I type in a URL that does not exist, say 'www.appsaaxsd.com', the browser
will show a dialogue indicating that the address can not be found. If I then, in
start typing a new address 'www.app', when wanting to type 'www.apple.com', I
get the bad address as an option. This address should not be saved if the
browser could not resolve the URL. Note - this is applicable to when Verisign's
'Site Finder' is not active.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in a URL for a non-existent server and hit enter
2. Start typing a URL similar to the non-existent server
3. 

Actual Results:  
The non-existent server shows up in the list.

Expected Results:  
If the server could not be resolved then is should not show up in the list,
unless it had been resolvable in the past by the browser, i.e. the test should
only apply to adding addresses to the list, not to the current contents.
