316221 - Entering "ftp" in the location bar opens ftp://ftp/ instead of keyword:ftp

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212852

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Martin F.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5

Entering "ftp" in the location bar opens ftp://ftp/ instead of keyword:ftp. Entering "http" works correctly and opens keyword:http. I think it's related to the automatic selection of FTP when entering host names beginning with ftp., like ftp.example.org.

I searched for related bugs but could only find bugs where too many strings were replaced by keyword:..., not where a string wasn't replaced when it should to be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure pref keyword.enabled is set to true
2. Enter "ftp" (without quotation marks) in the location bar and press enter
Actual Results:  
Firefox opens ftp://ftp/ which causes a DNS (not found) error.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should load keyword:ftp.
