When start to type an address of an already visited webpage on the address bar
the history of opened webpages shows, if I rightclick on an address from the
dropdown list of adresses it opens corectly that page and even if I use the down
arrow to select that address then press Enter, but it does not work if I use the
down arrows to select an address then rightclick on the Firefox window, then if
I click on Go button some webpages did not open because the address does not
contain the http://www.

Reproducible: Always

3. Type in the address bar: anand
4. The dropdown list o last visited wepages shows letting you chose the
http://www.anandtech.com/ address.
5. Use the down arrow to select the http://www.anandtech.com/ address, then just
rightclick on the Firefox window.

I can confirm this on 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041219
Firefox/1.0+

The address bar does not show the full URL of the item selected from the
drop-down list.
