User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141027150301
Steps to reproduce:
Enter a local address like server/private in the address bar and press Enter.
Actual results:
The address server/private is sent to the currently selected search engine - leaking local network information to the public Internet.
This is different than it used to be in previous versions.
Expected results:
Firefox should respect local addresses and connect to the local server.
Setting which can leak information about local network should not be the default setting.
Temporary workaround: turn off searching from the address bar.
