User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Changing the entry from a searchplugin (subdirectory searchplugin) e.g.
google.src - and changing the action-var to a url like
'action="http://localhost:85"', firefox will delete the port-no bei starting the
content of the action-var. The message "The connection was refused when
attempting to contact localhost". Correct : firefox forgot the port-no !


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit an existing src-file in the directory "Mozilla Firefox\searchplgin". 
2. Change the content of the var "action" to any url WITH a port-no (like
"HTTP://LOCALHOST:81", save the file an start/restart Firefox
3. Select the entry you have changed in the "search engine field" (Main-Toolbar,
2nd  field) and press Enter.

Actual Results:  
--> The port number won´t be interpreted. Errormessage occurs

Expected Results:  
the correct port-no
