** 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.
