Details

When I try to enter the following text in the location bar I get an error: Oneword: a few other words too The error alert is as follows: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (oneword) isn't associated with any program. I think that if Firefox doesn't know how to open up a "protocol" it should instead look to search for the string that was entered.
