Title:
Firefox address bar search displays proxy error page for single word
queries
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
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.
