RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1713827

People

(Reporter: eugene, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

The user starts to type a query string the FF start page

Actual results:

Focus has moved to the address bar and, since the user have disabled the annoying "smart mode", the query is interpreted as a URL and FF, expectingly, reports that the entered URL is not recognized

Expected results:

Focus should remain in the edit box, and the query string should be sent to the search engine instead of interpreting it.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Address Bar

I'm assuming you mean you disabled keyword.enabled in about:config. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Yes, that's right keyword.enabled=false
