Actual Results: http://www.http//itc.ua.com/ in Location bar Expected Results: Open http://itc.ua Tried on OS/2 and Windows versions
That pref is not related to the Ctrl+Enter autocomplete feature. The browser.fixup.alternate prefs are used when you press Enter and have the keyword.enabled pref set to false. The Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift+Enter autocomplete feature is a different thing and can not be disabled, AFAIK. Suggesting -> Invalid.
Even if so, it is a buggy feature that must have means to be disabled. (Or are there any other option to open from keyboard new tab with specified location?) Examples: itc.ua -> http://www.itc.ua.com/ http://itc.ua -> http://www.http://itc.ua.com/ (adding one more http:// is funny, but not usefull) www.itc.ua -> http://www.www.itc.ua.net/ ixbt.com -> http://www.ixbt.com.net/ http://www.ixbt.com -> http://www.http://www.ixbt.com/.net/
To open a address in a new tab, press Alt+Enter. Note: This does not work in Win9x, not sure about OS/2. See bug 185382.
Vit, the problem with the domain guessing (and the probably resulting wrong URIs) is filed in many bugs - the most commonly used seems to be bug #177618. So if your bug report is about this "http://www.http//itc.ua.com/" stuff, then I'll resolve your bug as duplicate of bug #177618. But if your bug report is about "Why doesn't Moz. Firebird opens a URI in a new tab after pressing <ctrl>-<enter>" I'll have to resolve this bug as "invalid" since Moz.Firebird uses <Alt><Enter> to open URI in new tab (see comment #3 and also http://texturizer.net/firebird/keyboard.html ).
