It is not an uncommon situation for me to have to paste a multi-line URL into the location bar. For instance, when people send me links via email or IM, they are often line-wrapped. Many apps, including Thunderbird stops highlighting the link on wrap (which is understandable behavior). It would be nice to just copy the multi-line link and paste it into Firefox. Firefox cuts off the paste in the location bar on new line, but a better behavior would be if it simply removed any line breaks and surrounding spaces. I can't think of a downside to this behavior and it would seem to be useful in many cases.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy the following URL that has been line-wrapped by some application you received it in:
http://www.example.com/path/to/
test.html
2. Paste it into the location bar.
Actual Results:
http://www.example.com/path/to/
Expected Results:
http://www.example.com/path/to/test.html
