Android 版 Firefox 社区论坛

Firefox Android address bar shows spam-like URL suggestions when Bing is the default search engine and Chinese keywords are typed.

Conditions: - Only Firefox Android + Bing reproduces. - Other search engines do not reproduce. - Other browsers do not reproduce. - Network-independent. - Fresh Firefox profile still reproduces. - Clearing data / disabling suggestions did not resolve it.

Example keyword: 河南

Observed: Spam-like URL suggestions appear, including random .xyz/.cc/.cyou domains and escaped Unicode-looking strings.

Comparing with google chrome and firefox on android with bing search engine, chrome can detect the correct chinese word on search suggestion; while in firefox, bing search suggestion always show the unicode characters.

When I open a new tab on Android as of a few weeks ago there are no suggestions, except to swap to a previous tab with a similar name to what's in the address bar. If I hit the search drop down to the left of the address bar or hit enter in the tab and retry typing suggestions appear. See attached images for reference.

Hello!

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open new tab 2. Start entering something into the search bar

Expected behavior: suggestions from the current search engine are displayed Actual result: only Firefox suggestions are displayed

Note: after tapping SE selection button and selecting a search engine (including the current one), the suggestions appear as expected

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.
