If you forget to put the ":" in "http://" when writing an adress (http//) you'll
get redirected first to http://http and then to http://www.microsoft.com instead
of getting an error message...

I am only getting this behavior in Fx, not seamonkey

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type in http//mozilla.org in the adress bar
2.Press enter

Actual Results:  
Http://www.microsoft.com appears as the main site

Expected Results:  
error message
