[Bug 362904] [NEW] [jaunty] Typing "ubuntu" in the location bar goes to invalid page.

[Ioannis Ramfos]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When typing the word "ubuntu" in the location bar of firefox on the live
cd (Jaunty RC), the list of suggested websites is shown. If none of
these is selected and enter is pressed, the "I am feeling lucky" option
of Google should be used to fetch the correct page.

However, the page is translated to "http://ubuntu/". This does not happen when typing other names such as "kubuntu", "ubuntulinux" or "debian", where the URL is retrieved correctly.
This does not occur on the installed version.

I think that new Ubuntu users trying out the live cd  and accustomed to
the "I am feeling lucky" functionality of firefox, should not experience
such behaviour when searching for more information about Ubuntu.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
