as of 0.9.8, the auto completion in the URL location field no longer completes to top level paths which redirect. Ie, top level pages like www.expedia.com which redirect to a different page will be stored in the auto-completion as the different page. This makes it no different than any of the other pages on that site, and so the page will be listed somewhere randomly in the drop down of possible completions, which breaks the auto-completion.

I confirm that this is annoying. The top level url is not proposed in the completion list so we have to delete all the last part of the url. You can try this here: http://linuxfr.org You will be redirect to a url like: http://linuxfr.org/index,0,-1,0,1.php3 And mozilla doesn't store "http://linuxfr.org" but "http://linuxfr.org/index,0,-1,0,1.php3" and all the other variant in the site. So to find the right one in the list...

confirmed (saw that often enough)
