Details

When I have Google as default search engine and the keyword "y" for yahoo search in Firefox 35 or 36: 1. Enter "y " in the Awesome Bar. ➔ Firefox shows "y – Search with Google" as a first suggestion 2. When I press Enter or click on the suggestion, Firefox loads yahoo.com
So while confusing, this would the right behavior. Search engine aliases only work if you are actually searching for something, like "y some thing", if you type just "y " there's nothing to search and thus we just do a plain search for "y" with the default engine. The fact we open yahoo though is very wrong.

(In reply to Marco Bonardo [::mak] (needinfo? me) from comment #1) > So while confusing, this would the right behavior. Not entirely... it's showing one thing, but doing the other. Bug 1067903 will fix this - it's an inconsistency between what docshell uri fixup does (old and broken, no longer wanted), and what our heuristics (new and shiny, intended implementation) does.
