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)
