An absolute link is first URL encoded, and then appended to the end of the current URL. If the URL begins with a protocol identifier, it should be treated as absolute. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a gopher page. 2. Click on an absolute link. 3. Gape in awe of the blank page you get. Actual Results: I was shocked into silence. Expected Results: Mozilla should pick up the protocol identifier in links from gopher pages and treat them as absolute rather than relative.
