Rather than completing a domain, I just see "http:/" or "https:/" when entering "h", which isn't very helpful. See screenshot.
Can reproduce in release, so doesn't look like a regression.

Hi, I would like to take this up if it's okay.
Hi, I'm a bit unclear on what the expected behavior is in this case. For example, if the suggestion is, say, http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile, should typing h just fill in the domain (http://support.mozilla.org) or the entire url (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile)?

Thanks.
Never mind, I found that autocomplete normally fills in segment by segment, so, it should be http://support.mozilla.org/ in the above case.

Thanks! This could technically break for any results that have a "/" before the 9th character and don't begin with "http://" or "https://", but I can't think of any scenarios where this would actually happen.

Nit: Parens around (searchLength > HTTPS_PREFIX_LENGTH).

This would only be applicable for about:.., http://..., ftp://.. and so on. If a slash (/) appears before the 9th character (can't imagine a real scenario), it would still auto complete till the segment that has the 9th character.

Hey Brian, thanks a lot, I was hunting through the docs to see what the next step is supposed to be. :)
