Firefox doesn't perform a fulltext search, but redirects directly to http://<entered word>. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a proxy server e.g. to localhost:8080 2. Change Firefox proxy settings to Manual proxy configuration and enter HTTP proxy: localhost and port:8080 3. Enter a single word into the location bar and hit enter Actual Results: Firefox doesn't perform a fulltext search, but redirects directly to http://<entered word>. Expected Results: Fulltext search for entered word. When multiple words is entered search works fine.

Fully reproducible with the steps mentioned above. Tested in Windows XP, but as far as I know, this is architecture independent, and has to do with the way Firefox works when you use a single word in the URL bar, i.e.: word - Firefox will try to download it the http://word URL: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: word - if it doesn't work (e.g. it won't resolve to a local hostname or an IP address), it will result in a search. Problem: when there's a proxy, the proxy answers the query with an error page. Instead of the 504 error page (gateway timeout), it uses a 403 error (forbidden). Since that is a final error, Firefox no longer tries, and search is never invoked. e.g. full interchange (with nonrelevant headers edited out) GET http://word/ HTTP/1.1 Host: word User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 DNT: 1 Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden Content-Length: 456 <html><head><title>504 DNS look up failed</title></head><body><font size=2><table width="100%"><tr><td bgcolor=#3300cc align="center" colspan=2><font color=#ffffff><b>504 DNS look up failed</b></font></td></tr></table><br><br>The webserver for http://word reported that an error occurred while trying to access the website. Please click <u><a href="javascript:history.back()">here</a></u> to return to the previous page.<br><br><hr></font></body></html> i.e. even if the proxy's error page says it's a 504 error, the actual error code returned is 403 ("Forbidden"), so Firefox does the right thing and doesn't do anything else. It's the proxy's fault, but it's still very annoying and I wonder if there could be a way for Firefox to handle this more gracefully.

Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/84242/comments/21 ** Changed in: firefox Status: Unknown => Confirmed ** Changed in: firefox Importance: Unknown => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84242 Title: Firefox address bar search displays proxy error page for single word queries Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The problems transpire when searching for single words using the address bar in Firefox. When I have Firefox proxy settings set to "Auto Detect" this feature works fine. (Q: is the proxy being used then?) When explicitly setting the proxy settings in Firefox this fails sending me to http://query/ (displaying the proxy's error page). It also fails, when configuring the proxy via PAC file (last option in the settings). (Initially reported for version 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 under edgy) TEST CASE (from comment #7): 1. Add proxy to Firefox conntections. - Tools > Options > Advanced > Network. - Click Settings under Connections. - Select Manual proxy configuration and enter valid proxy details to use for HTTP. - Apply settings. 2. Enter a search term in Firefox's address bar, e.g. "query", and press enter. What happens in this situation is Firefox attempts to reach "http://query/";, which of course is non existent. What should happen normally is "query" is searched with Google.
