Public bug reported:
When I'm opening an address like localhost:8080 (without the http), snap
firefox will assume that 'localhost' is the scheme and start an
application that registered localhost:
To test, open Firefox and type 'localhost:8080' in the address bar and
hit enter.
** Affects: firef
Still an issue on Ubuntu 19.04. I've experienced this issue for a few
