From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010215 BuildID: 2001021508 Sometimes when I click a link Mozilla seems to think that the url is a local reference. For example when I search with google and get some results and try to click the links. Mozilla tries to take me to a page with address http://google.com/http://foobar.com/ when it should try http://foobar.com/. Same kind of problems happen when I try to write an url manually. If I am on www.netscape.com and write in url www.mozilla.org and press enter then mozilla only reloads the www.netscape.com and never takes me to www.mozilla.org Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I can't give any special details on this. This seems to happen on random sites. Just trying to click o link and then it works wrong Actual Results: mozilla tries to take me to a wrong address Expected Results: it should have gone to the url requested This bug was allready in Mozilla 0.7 but I never noticed it int Mozilla 0.6. Never bothered to report this earlier because I thought this would fixed immediately but now it is still there so maybe this does not happen to everyone...

I'm afraid you're going to have to expand on this. Steps to take: 1) keep trying to find an example 2) when you find one, View the Page Source, and check the link is actually correct. We do get bugs reported against mozilla where it acts correctly, but on a broken link, and I'd hate to find you reporting this too. If you can confirm the link is valid and mozilla is breaking on it please post the url here and if possible attach the page to this bug. Thanks.

Found this in my mailbox a few days ago. Just realised it was literally mailed to me and not via bugzilla. Reporter: *please* only ever update a bug report using the bugzilla web pages. NEVER email a response as the bugzilla database will not show it. Thanks. the mail: Oukei. Now I have an example: On this page I click the last url: http://www.google.com/search?q=thinkpad+370C&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=30&sa=N Kingston Technology Company - Memory Installation Guides This works just fine. After that I come back to google with back button and I try to press the Next-link on googles page. For my surprise this takes me to some page on kingston.com and shows the url for google. It should take me to this address: http://www.google.com/search?q=thinkpad+370C&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=40&sa=N Now after going back and next for some tries it gives me an error in google: 404 Not Found The requested URL /search/?q=thinkpad+370C&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=40&sa=N was not found on this server. after going back and trying again it works and goes correctly to googles next page. Now when I try to click another link then mozilla tries to find the requested page from googles server even that the url points to a different server. this link: http://accessmicro.com/zone.php3?catsubcat=9802&vendor=IBM gives error: 404 Not Found The requested URL /zone.php3?catsubcat=9802&vendor=IBM was not found on this server. after going back and trying again it works fine. I can give you screen shots and sources of the pages if you like.

I have the very same problem on Mozilla/0.8 (Linux/x86) I get broken links all the time because the browser insists on loading the URL from the current server...

OK, I have setup a page about this problem that is fairly self-explanatory. It is hosted on my box at http://darkside-empire.yi.org/~joeblow/ BTW, I had forgotten the exact version of my browser : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18ext3 i586; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010304 Build ID: 2001030400 Sorry :(

I think that I have found out the reason for this bug. I was using junkbuster as a proxy with my mozilla. After I removed junkbuster almost everything has been working just fine. So maybe there is something wrong with the interaction of a proxy and mozilla?

You're right, I also use Junkbuster. This has surely to do with the problem. The problem is changed but remains, though...
