301600 - Typing "foo" in the Location Bar doesn't result in an "I'm feeling lucky" search if http://foo doesn't exist

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269519

(Firefox :: General, defect)

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

Works for me. Are you using a proxy?

Works for me too (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3)
Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+). Do you have a bookmark that has a keyword of "foo"?

Yes, this is from my work machine. 

foo isn't a bookmark keyword.

I think this is a dupe of bug 269519 and hence bug 2875.

You should mark it as a dupe to 2875, not 269519, if 269519 is a dupe to 2875.
