User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 When clicking a link such as http://test,chicken firefox will perform a Google search for "test, chicken" and automatically redirect you to the first "hit". This is unexpected behavior and could lead to tricking users to webpages and malware. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a URL involving a comma such as http://test,chicken in the address bar and visit. or 2. Click such a link in an external application. Actual Results: Firefox loads a Google search of the string (without the http://) and automatically visits the first link. Expected Results: The browser should instead merely present the search results or merely present an error (without disabling the ability as it is possible to have a webserver requireing commas in the URL in the local network without any dots in the address, for example)
