Re-opening. Still an issue with Firefox 24.
** Package changed: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Triaged
** Also affects: firefox via
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536955
Importance: Unknown
Status: Unknown
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: firefox
-
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.
When I explicitly set the proxy settings in Firefox this fails sending
me to http://query/
- This is using firefox version 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 under edgy.
+ (Initially reported for version 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.10 under edgy)
- I will test out feisty later.
+
+ 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.
