The location bar accepts both urls and non-urls. It's unnecessary to distinguish the clipboard is an url or not for "Paste & Go" menuitem, just behave like pressing Enter key in the location bar. If ctrl- or middle-clicked, behave like pressing Alt+Enter key.

Also, if you have a url in the clipboard without the leading "http://" (e.g. "www.example.com"), Paste & Go is not shown.
I miss being able to "paste & go" keyword searches like "bug 611590" where "bug" was the keyword for "https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch="

reverts bug 601695 patch to simpler, more predictable, and arguably more useful behavior.

Also paste and search should be an option if clipboard contains multiple words.
(In reply to comment #4)
By default, entering words into the location bar performs a search, so that is exactly what selecting "Paste & Go" will do.
