661458 - Firefox treat upper case bookmark URI as different URI compare to the lower case URI.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Gavin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

For example, there are 2 bookmarks:
http://www.mozilla.org/
http://www.Mozilla.org/

As you see, these two bookmarks are the same.
The difference between the two URI is "m" and "M". Just lower case and upper case.

But Firefox treat them as different bookmark when I browse one of them like "http://www.mozilla.org/" and the Star which in the Location bar(Address bar) doesn't turn into light while I have the bookmark in Firefox like "http://www.Mozilla.org/".

Sorry for my poor English.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bookmark which URI is "http://www.Mozilla.org/".
2. Browse "http://www.mozilla.org/".
3. Look at the Star which in  the Location bar.

Actual Results:  
The Star which in the Location bar doesn't turn into light.

Expected Results:  
The Star which in the Location bar should turn into light and the bookmark should be edit through the Star.

I think this always happened, if the server filesystem can distinguish uppercase and lowercase they may even point to different content (I uderstand would be confusing but it's theorically feasible)

Comment 3

[Marco Bonardo [:mak]]

this is valid regarding the host part, the query string is indeed case sensitive, but the host is not.

Comment 4

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

This bug does not occur with the host part. See comment #1 carefully.
