435074 - FTP server not found might also cause empty ftp directory

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 406787

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Tobias (:Tobbi) Markus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051206 Firefox/3.0

This is a strange behaviour I have found in Firefox. If you enter an invalid FTP server address you'll be redirected to a firefox ftp error page (of course). But now you can go to the address bar, set the cursor in it and press enter again. This causes you being redirected to a empty ftp directory --> Firefox handels it as if the server address exists but is being empty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter any invalid ftp address like ftp://this.is.an.error.com
2.You'll get a 'server not found' notice. 
3.Set the cursor in the address bar and press Enter again. --> Firefox 'mishandels' the request
Actual Results:  
misbehaviour

Expected Results:  
'Server not found' message should remain. No 'empty ftp directory' should occur.

I'm using Firefox 3 RC1 on Windows Vista SP 1
