Thanks for the link, Saurabh, but I don't think it would fix this particular issue as the user isn't brought to a Firefox error page, but one created by the proxy server. To fix this bug, the browser must know in advance that it isn't a proper URL (i.e., doesn't end in ".com" or any other TLD, etc.) and that it should go ahead and send it to the default search engine instead of the proxy server, just the way it does with multi-word searches.
The problem seems to be that Firefox is just assuming that any single word typed into the Address Bar is a URL to be sent to the proxy, instead of checking it first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84242 Title: Firefox address bar search displays proxy error page for single word queries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/84242/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
