Description

[Manoj]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0+

Here is my observation in the latest Firefox trunk build:

Scenario 1: 
1. Enter "foo" in the location bar. Hit Go
2. Firefox tries to go to http://foo
3. Site not found

Scenario 2:
1. Enter "foo bar" in the location bar. Hit Go
2. Firefox correctly does an "I'm Feeling Lucky" Search and takes me to the
first search result for foo bar

This seems to have regressed in the last month but I'm not sure about the exact
build when this might have occurred.



Reproducible: Always
