User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 Build ID: 20130116073211 Steps to reproduce: Using Samsung Galaxy S3's Samsung's built-in keyword with predictive text turned on, I cannot type the following address: rav-hen.co.il When I hit the "c", it automatically removes part of the URL I typed, leaving me with: rav- Expected results: Firefox for Android should disable predictive text in the awesome bar.
Can you try out Firefox Beta on Google Play and report back if that works out for you? If not, can you try Firefox Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) for Android?

I am able to reproduce this bug with Firefox 18 on a Galaxy S III device and the Galaxy keyboard with Predictive Text enabled as well as on 21.0a1 nightly 31/01/2013.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
I on the other hand cannot reproduce this on either nightly or release. Either way, I suspect it is easily worked around by clicking on the period in the suggestion bar before clicking "c".
(In reply to Brad Lassey [:blassey] from comment #3) > I suspect it is easily worked around by clicking on the period > in the suggestion bar before clicking "c". Leaving aside the argument if this is really a workaround - clicking on the period actually leaves me without the period, so I end up with: "rav-hen"

This bug is caused when using Firefox on a clean phone (default keyboard, default keyboard preferences), and the users might won't bother to try to find the problem cause or keep the browser for a second try.
Note that I can reproduce in Release, but cannot reproduce in the latest Nightly (2013-02-07), using a Samsung Galaxy Note II (4.1)
