User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170925150345
Steps to reproduce:
- Run Firefox 57.0
- Navigate to "http://example.com/"
- Open up Firefox preferences
- Go to Search
- Select "Use the address bar for search and navigation"
- Press Ctrl+E (search shortcut on Windows, unsure of other platforms)
- Write a URL-like search term, like "example.com"
Actual results:
The top action listed by the address bar is to visit said domain, instead of searching for it. It also lists history items, such as the recently visited "http://example.com/".
Expected results:
I personally feel the address bar should only do search when pressing Ctrl+E, and not prompt to visit the term or list history items based on it.
Edge exhibits this expected behavior when pressing Ctrl+E by clearing the address bar and prefixing "? " which explicitly indicates that the term is a search term, and therefore won't prompt to visit or list history items.
Chrome until recently did the same thing as Edge, but has now opted to instead show "Search Google" in the beginning of the address bar when either pressing Ctrl+E or writing a question mark in it. Chrome does however also list history items when in search mode.
