With the latest update, when I start typing in the url, and select what I want from the drop down list, anything with a "space" in the url becomes a google search

I assume this is to do with the removal of the http:// as when I add it to the start it behaves as normal

A true URL has no spaces in it. If there is a space in the URL, Firefox assumes that you are searching for more than one item.

But I am not typing spaces, I am selecting the url from the drop down list.

Also, when I "middle click" it to have it open in a new tab, it opens the correct page
