From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505 BuildID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505 The location bar in Mozilla0.9 is currently not case-sensitive for javascript: URLs. Normally, for URLs, this is perfectly acceptable -- the WWW does not care about uppercase or lowercase. However, for JavaScript, uppercase and lowercase make a big difference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type javascript:alert(typeof(document)) into your location bar and press Enter. Clear the alert. 2. Type javascript:alert(typeof(Document)) into your location bar and press Enter. Clear the alert. 3. Click on the dropdown arrow for previous history entries. Actual Results: A listing for javascript:alert(typeof(Document)). No listing for javascript:alert(typeof(document)). Expected Results: A listing for javascript:alert(typeof(Document)) and a separate listing for javascript:alert(typeof(document)).

This bug is impossible to reproduce, for now "javascript:..." URIs are not listed in location bar's history, unless such a URI is that of an existing tab. And if both javascript:alert(typeof(Document)) and javascript:alert(typeof(document)) are typed in different tabs, both are listed. This is WFM or INVALID.
