If you visited www.bugzilla.mozilla.org earlier, then when you type www.b it auto-completes with www.bugzilla.mozilla.org, at that time if you delete ugzilla.mozilla.org and leave only www.b, it loads an error: 
"Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.b.com." which is the correct behavior.
If you load www.b on a clean profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles#os=linux&browser=fx20 It should work just as expected.

Steps to reproduce (having no "www.bugzilla.mozilla.org" in history):
1. Visit "bugzilla.mozilla.org" without www.
2. Type "www.b".

Actual results:
Inline autocomplete makes it "www.bugzilla.mozilla.org/".

[Marco Bonardo [:mak] (Away Apr 25 - May 5)]

looks more likely an unexpected consequence of new autoFill than a regression.

Confirmed in Firefox 20.0 on Linux. Typing `www.b` gives me `www.bugs.launchpad.net/`, which host does not exist, which I almost surely never entered, and which is not in my history. (The real site is `https://bugs.launchpad.net/`.)

This works on a fresh profile (after visiting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ once).

Auto-complete should not be generating invalid hostnames.

Also,

Also, on pressing enter with the auto-completed site, it tries to access it over HTTP, even though I only ever accessed the HTTPS site https://bugs.launchpad.net/.
