Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140218140052 Steps to reproduce: 1. enter a single word (for example "hello") in the location bar ==> it takes about 18 seconds to launch a web search 2. enter several words (for example "hello world") in the location bar ==> it "immediately" launch a web search Actual results: single word in location bar takes 18+ seconds to launch a web search Expected results: Single word in location bar should launch a web search "immediately", as it does for several words in location bar. It used to work fine in the past. I am using FF27.0.1, and this delay appeared in FF27, or maybe in FF26 IIRC.
Philipp, we talked about this in Toronto, did you end up filing a bug?

(In reply to pionchon.luc from comment #3) > I just got FF28 it seems to be fixed. I want to withdraw my comment #3, for some reason it does not work anymore... it started again to take about 18-20 seconds to launch a web search. I have absolutely no idea why. Does it work for you?

That's clearly not a new issue. I can reproduce.
Dupe of 972452.
