** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Typing query in Firefox' address bar with colon (:) always triggers the
  SystemHandler instead of search.
  
  [Test plan]
  
  *Start Firefox
  *Type a1:b2 in the address bar and press enter
  
  Expected: String is searched in the default search engine.
  Observed: Dialogue box "open the a1 link with System Handler?" appears.
  
  *Install xdg-desktop-portal from proposed
  *Kill Firefox
  *systemctl restart --user xdg-desktop-portal
  *Start Firefox
  *Type a1:b2 in the address bar and press enter
  
  Expected: String is searched in the default search engine.
  
  [Regression potential]
  
  Regressions might appear as in applications that use the portal to
  handle URIs, as a failed or incorrect identification to handle a given
  URI. Say, mailto:a at example.com should invoke an email handler with said
  email address as recipient.
