359115 - URLs lost from address bar history ( about: view-source: )

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Bruce Robson]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

I typed the following URLS into the address bar
    view-source:about:plugins
    about:plugins
    view-source:ftp://ftp.mozilla.org
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/
    view-source:http://www.mozilla.org
    http://www.mozilla.org
    view-source:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

I then clicked on the down-arrow icon by the address bar and all the URLs were shown.

I then exitted from Firefox, restarted Firefox, and clicked on the down-arrow icon by the address bar. Firefox had lost some of my URLs. It had lost all the URLs that begin with about: or view-source:

This seems to be intentional, see SeaMonkey bug 229995.

view-source uris are not added to Places history by design
