425966 - FF reverts to Google even when other location bar search services are specified

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032804 Minefield/3.0pre

I have modified the default keyword.URL search to Yubnub (http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=) in about:config. With it I am able to use "g <query>" to redirect to a Google query, "y <query>" for Yahoo, and so on.

Occasionally, FF will not follow the specified search service for searching with the location bar, but instead will display the Google search page results for the Google query "http://www.g <query>".

Upon resubmitting the same query in the location bar, the correct results page is reached. Screenshot for bug: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff300/nilsmilo/keywordurl.png

This is what happens if you hold down "Shift" while pressing Enter. Firefox autocompletes "www." and ".net" in that case (it's a variant of Ctrl+Enter, which autocompletes "www." and ".com").

Since it happened with a search that ends in all caps I'm going to assume that that's what happened, and mark this bug INVALID.
