Build ID: 20111115183813

Steps to reproduce:

Start typing a partial URL "www.mal" which exists in both bookmarks and history


Actual results:

Since v8 of firefox, the list of URLs shown is unrelated to the typed text. The only URL which matches is in the 3rd position in the provided screenshot; sometimes it is not shown, while the other URLs don't match at all.


Expected results:

Only URLs or titles that contain the entire text typed in should be included.

Note: This is a regression

We're ignoring "www." here and matching only "wal"...

IMO, any text which the user took the trouble to type in should be considered relevant.
