Another example: http:// google.com (No loading, just blank). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Write an address in the address bar, inserting a space between the handler and the address. 2.You see no loading. 3.Just a blank page. Actual Results: Blank. Expected Results: Correct the address, or ignore the space.And the display the page. I don't know if it is a security issue, but an attacker, might manipulate the Mozilla, somehow, to add that space, and the user wouldn't see any web pages anymore!
Not security-sensitive, probably a duplicate, pretty sure I've seen this bug somewhere else in Bugzilla...

"http:// www.mozilla.org" and "http:// google.com" actually work for me via Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky".
For Jeff Walden: i'm pretty sure u didn't, i'm not a newbie in bug reports; i searched before submitting. For Ria: That's something else, it's about auto-correction. For Dao:So why have an address bar? when u turn on mozilla , just pops up google.com, no address bar, just smth to show u ,on what page u are; google's search field, the new address bar for ALL BROWSERS!!!!! As u can see at ur comment, mozilla interprets as a link , only what is "sticked" to the "//" part (ur case, nothing).
