955329 - Auto-complete in awesome bar is too zealous

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Louis Gesbert]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20131215 Firefox/24.0 Iceweasel/24.2.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20131215070311

Steps to reproduce:

Let's say I have 'http://somesi.te/home' and 'http://somesi.te/home-test' in my history.
I type 'http://somesi.te/home<enter>' in the "awesome bar"


Actual results:

it's completed with '-test' and sends me to the wrong page.


Expected results:

As a rule of thumb, auto-complete should never modify a "valid" entry. I am typing a proper URL, that is in my history, and firefox is sending me to the wrong page ; there is a page I use which follows this pattern and it happends to me quite often, which is irritating.
