762048 - copying link in editable region appends domain to url

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Nathan Van Gheem]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0
Build ID: 20120601045813

Steps to reproduce:

When using WYSIWYG editors like Tiny MCE with Firefox 13:

Copy and paste a relative link in the content area.


Actual results:

Firefox will fill in the complete url with the current domain and make it an absolute url. 


Expected results:

Firefox should not modify copied text.

If you're editing content that is later transformed or meant to be displayed on another domain, this breaks it. This could also be a security problem as people who edit websites often do it on a different secure domain that should not be known by the public.

Tested on MacOS version 10.7.5 with the Nightly 46.0a1 build. I can't reproduce the problem using relative links. Please retest this issue with the latest version of Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/).

Thank you.
