Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.6-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
This is bugzilla bug #275957
Brief summary:
When a user enters an invalid URL in the location bar, an automatic
Google Search is performed, and the user is taken to the first search
result (I'm feeling lucky), without informing the user what has
happened or asking for his consent.
This shouldn't be default behaviour: the user should be informed what
has happened by a popup window, or by not performing the automatic
redirection.
I included a patch that changes the default "I'm feelink lucky" search
to a simple google search.
Any user can change this after installing firefox, all he has to do is
enter about:config in the location bar, and change keyword.URL.
See the bugzilla report for more info
Please review this behavior and decide upon an appropiate action for
such a situation. Thanks
Thanks
