I try to get on a website which starts with a '-' but Firefox don't open it.
Instead of this, it just appers a popup, that the URL is not found.

Reproducible: Always

This seems to be WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050908 (No IDN) Firefox/1.4.  I get a page which says:

Das Weiterleitungsziel wurde nicht angegeben.

I assume this is correct.

Can you try with a current nightly/1.5beta1.
