User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0
Steps to reproduce:
Type in a link-local IPv6 with interface into the address bar of Firefox.
Like: http://[fe80::ee08:6bff:fe5a:cbe2%wlp3s0]/
The browser is not recognizing it as a correct IPv6 and redirects to the search engine. According to the IPv6 specs, this is a valid address and should be treated accordingly.
Actual results:
Searchs for the URL in the search engine
Expected results:
Showing the requested resource

it looks like we don't properly recognize the scope (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007)

Valentin, it looks like also the url parser doesn't like this, new URL("http://[fe80::ee08:6bff:fe5a:cbe2%wlp3s0]/") is failing. Is that expected?

Yes, the URL parser (https://url.spec.whatwg.org/) doesn't accept interfaces.
Chrome behaves the same.
