965808 - about:home urls are case sensitive

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Ioana Chiorean]

Device Galaxy Nexus
Android 4.3 
Firefox Nightyl 29.0a1 01/30

Steps:
1. type in URL bar about:HOME 
2. tap GO

Expected results:
- about:home should be displayed

Actual results:
- a blank page is displayed with the Nightly Home in URL 

Note:
- about:FIREFOX/FireFOX/CRASHES/etc returns about:firefox/firefox/crashes/etc so I think we should be consistent here (or it is home some special case?)
- even with one capital or with al capital letters - the blank page is displayed

I guess about:home code is looking for a hardcoded 'about:home' and bails at some point because I do notice the title change to 'Nightly Home', so it's getting somewhere.

Changed the title to emphasize the issue (because it was foolishly lost on me :).
