Details

Firefox for Android nightly 20121111, Android 4.1.2 (stock), Google Nexus S The user can't search for text containing a colon (:) from url bar, an error will be shown: "This link needs to be opened with an application." Steps to reproduce: 1. Type the folliwing into the url bar: Diagnosis: Murder 2. Press the Search button. Actual result: Error message: "This link needs to be opened with an application." Expected result: Search performed with the default search provider.
It's attempting to to open via a unknown protocol, I suppose the query handler can be smarter although that is an odd edge/case search.
The same thing happens in desktop.
