User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Opening a URL from an external application or from bookmarks 80-90% of the time
Firefox 1.0 will not load the page. But when I go into the address bar and
highlight the address and click enter, it will work fine. Happened with RC1-2 as
well.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a bookmark or link from external app such as email
2.Page won't load, prompts that the page could not be found
3.Highlight URL and click enter, page loads fine

Actual Results:  
Page wouldn't load

Expected Results:  
It should load the page
