847829 - browser.fixup.alternate ignored when it has "www.somedomain" entries in history

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 765337

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Anton Chevychalov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20130215130331

Steps to reproduce:

I used opennet.ru for testing. Sorry for Russian, but this site has one feature opennet.ru != www.opennet.ru (different views). It's old tradition of this site. You can undestand this even without Russian background.

Reproduce steps:

0. Get clear profile and history.
1. Set browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false
2. In url bar type opennet.ru, hit enter.
-- We got non www version. Everything  is OK here
3. In url bar type www.opennet.ru, hit enter.
-- We got www version. Everything  is OK here
4. Now again type opennet.ru. Autofill would recomend you "opennet.ru/". Hit enter.
-- We got www version. FAIL


Actual results:

We got www version of site on step 4.


Expected results:

On a step 4 we should receive non www version.

it's quite uncommon setup for a web server, even if definitely valid per spec.

bug 769348 should improve the behavior for non secure addresses, in the meanwhile you can enforce going to the non www version by directly typing http://opennet.ru or through a bookmark, or by selecting from the dropdown.
