User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Build ID: 20160107040617 Steps to reproduce: With default History settings (URL history is saved) 1. Access a site with a URL which includes a port number; i.e. https://www.example.com:8080 2. Close the browser to force the History to be persisted 3. Re-open the browser 4. Open a new tab & place cursor focus in the URL bar 5. Type the first few letters of the URL from step #1 (i.e. "exam") 6. Note the first search result is the URL's domain name with the port number stripped Actual results: Port numbers are stripped from historical URLs, thus making those URLs worthless in search results, as they are not the proper URLs the user is attempting to access. Expected results: When a domain-only URL (i.e. '/') is returned in search, the search result should retain the port number so that the intended site can be accessed properly from the search results.
