+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1290490 +++
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID: 20160623154057
Steps to reproduce:
- Install Hebrew version of Firefox Developer Edition 49.0a2 (or possibly any RTL version of Firefox having the new design of the URL bar)
- a. In the URL bar, type "www.google.com"
b. In the URL bar, type "google." (with a dot after 'google') - Observe the first item in the dropdown list, the one having "Visit" after the URL and the second with "Search with Google"
Actual results:
Firefox autocompletes A to "/http://www.google.com", and autocompletes B to ".google" (both being RTL'd)
Notice the '/' and the dot's locations.
Expected results:
A and B should have been "http://www.google.com/" and "google.", respectively.
In short, they should be LTR.
Currently it works okay in 47.0.1 (partially, as the "Search with Google" string is incorrectly LTR'd, which is fixed in the new design of the URL bar).
bug 1267355 is somehow related.

Is this still an issue with the quantumbar?

I think the only thing to fix here is to LTR the text only when the suggestion is counted as a URL (when you have the "Visit" text afterwards, and not "Search with X"), because otherwise I can't see how to URL bar would differentiate between "google." as normal text vs. "google." as a start of a URL.

Is this actually a QB regression, or is just something we'd like to be fixed in the QB?

It's a regression, originally fixed in bug 1290490.
