If there are no open windows when you invoke "Open Location" via the keyboard
shortcut Cmd-L, a new window appears with a dropdown pane where you can enter
the url to which you wish to go.  Entering a keyword for a bookmark results in
Firefox trying to go to that keyword.  For example, I have a bookmark for the
cloudynights forum who's keyword is cnf.  Typing cnf into the "Open Location"
dialog of a new window results in Firefox requestion a dns lookup for cnf not
expanding the keyword into the http://www.cloudynights.com/ bookmark it represents

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Close all open windows
2. Invoke "Open Location" via keyboard shortcut
3. Enter the keyword for a bookmark in the dialog box

Actual Results:  
Firefox treats the keyword as a URL rather than expanding it into the bookmark
it represents.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have looked up the bookmark represented by the keyword and gone
to the URI stored in that bookmark.
Already fixed in the nightlies, will be fixed in Firefox 1.1.
