WFM every way except opening it by typing the first letter of the name, which is
bug 275071

Xavier: is that an official build with a changed UA string, or is
Awesomebrowser/5*10^42 a third-party build? If it's not official, do you see the
same thing with an official build? And do you still see it in a new profile
without any extensions?

Oops, I forgot about my UA string, it is an official nightly build, I just tried
it without extensions and the bug is still there.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
