RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 66183

Details

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1) Turn off keyword fixup and find a string "foo.com" which has no mapped IP address (and neither does www.foo.com), or find yourself a hostname like "foo.com" that resolves but whose IP isn't reachable (e.g. edit your /etc/hosts) or whose server doesn't usefully deny the connection. 2) Type http://foo.com into the url bar. EXPECTED RESULTS: An error page saying that http://foo.com could not be reached or resolved or whatever. http://foo.com in the url bar. ACTUAL RESULTS: http://www.foo.com in the url bar, and an error page for http://www.foo.com I could have sworn we had an existing bug on this, but can't find it.
