Firefox loads the wrong site when you attempt to visit a site from the location bar history, if that site is on an intranet and contains a space in the name.

These sites can be visited if you type the address by hand, and they work from if you select the link from the History tab, but they dont' work if you try to select them from the drop-down list that appears under the location bar.

Here are the steps to recreate the bug:

1. Visit an intranet site that has a space in the name. http://server/share/look at this file.html

2. Close the tab

3. Type part of the file name in the address bar

4. Select the site from list of suggestions (it will appear as server/share/look at this file.html)

5. Firefox will use the URL as a search term in your default search engine

Update: If I add the domain name to the URL, the site will load from the history.

http://server.domain.com/share/look at this file.html

It still doesn't work if the domain.com part is removed.

Are you using a proxy as that may have influence on how the location bar search works?

Does it help if you encode the spaces as %20?

more options

I'm not using a proxy.

Changing the spaces to %20 makes no difference. As soon as I enter the address, the %20's get changed back to spaces. I can't find a way to get the %20's to stay when I access it from the history.

I'm still stumped. Any other ideas?

I guess this isn't the right place to submit a bug report. Can someone point me to the right place so that I can get this fixed?
