[Desktop-packages] [Bug 263505] Re: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page
Upstream bug was closed "VERIFIED FIXED" on 2020-04-30.

Would it be possible to have something like this (additional pref), but only for searches that contain (at least one) dot? This would be useful because most commonly, searches without dots are not used as domains (except `localhost` which is handled separately), while searches containing dots could be commonly used as domains. Also, I don't know if it's just for me, but Firefox takes longer to "resolve" (try resolving but then fail and search instead) domains without dots (`for example `test`, which takes few seconds before redirecting to search) that domains with dots (for example `test.a`, which is redirected to search almost immediately). (In reply to Marco Bonardo [:mak] from comment #85) > just add domains to the whitelist, create a bool pref like > browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.yourdomain.yoursuffix and set it to true.

I want to provide some feedback about this change and see if this can be fixed: For general usage, this change is good and better than redirecting users to unexisting websites when they want to search. However, there are some TLDs that aren't present in the Public Suffix List, which means that users who want to visit such domains will instead be redirected to search. Example of such domains are local/reserved TLDs (like `.local` or `.test`) which are commonly used for local development/testing, as well as non-IANA-managed TLDs, like OpenNIC (`.oss,` `.libre`...) and others, mostly by some decentralized projects (`.eth`, `.bit`...). All of them now just trigger a search. To access them, you now need to manually type `http://` or `https://` before the domain. Are there any other better solutions? Could Firefox try to resolve such domains to see if they contain existing website (for local/reserved TLDs and OpenNIC which are commonly resolved with custom `/etc/hosts` file or custom DNS server) and provide some API to extensions so that extensions will be able to tell it that TLDs are valid (for `.eth`, `.bit`... which are commonly resolved through extensions). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

My use case is helping family members troubleshot their Internet problems, and that often involve a phone call to them to debug it live over voice (especially these days during self-isolation). Currently, I can ask them to connect to the LAN-only portal hosted on their ISP box to see if the issue is between their computer and that box, or between the box and the rest of the world. Those boxes often make available their settings over unfortunate non-existing TLDs such as ".ip", and now I also have to tell them to go edit scary settings through about:config and whatnot, that seems *really* unfortunate and user-hostile. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 263505]
Hey, I filed Bug 1610130 which has been resolved as a duplicate.
Figuring out valid alphanumeric tlds seems to be non-trivial, but it shouln't
it be easier for things like `subprocess.run()` or `this.rn!'{}+()n` which
contain non-alphanumeric characters in the tld part and are therefore invalid?
Especially the first example is really annoying if you are searching for
code-related stuff. I see that detecting if `subprocess.run` is a valid
domain can be quite difficult but that shouldn't apply for
`subprocess.run()` or am I mistaken there?

Title:
Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
In Progress
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is
because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's
called. It would be a useful addition if the "Address Not Found" page
could offer the option to use the stuff you typed into the location
bar as input for your designated search engine, and/or perform history
search on those terms. (For me, the former is the more useful, but I
expect both would be handy, and the effort to offer both is probably
marginal if you decide to do one or the other.)
All to often, what you typed in is no longer visible in the location
bar, because http:// gets prepended and sometimes a .com appended to
what is displayed in the location bar at the point you get the
"Address Not Found" error.

Does this issue include checking highlighted text against a cached Publix Suffix List? Meaning that a right click on hightlighted text "foobar.this" will recognize the hightlighted text as not being a hyperlink and therefore the context menu will not offer link-actions?

Mathieu, what's the status of the underlying networking feature? It looks like the product side is done and we're just waiting for bug 1563225?

Looks like Chrome bakes the list in, see e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=610495 , without out-of-band updates. We now (as of bug 1459891) do this, too, but fortunately our updates are mostly automatic (they are automatically created by a bot based on the authoritative list, and reviewed by a human). I think that's probably sufficient to move forward with this bug, even if out-of-band updates would be a nice bonus. There should probably be an about:config pref to turn search-for-non-psl-domains off.

I just learned that the Public Suffix List is actually a Mozilla project! Tangential remark: We know that Chrome isn't the most privacy-conscious browser, but it's also a fact that the Chrome team takes security very seriously and has put their money where their mouth is in that regard. It's not sufficient to blindly follow their lead on all things, but it is definitely a useful signal to consider and weighs in favor of adopting the PSL approach. An observation: currently for someone intending to search for `browserconfig.xml` (with the separate search bar hidden), the process of typing in `browserconfig.xml` in the address bar and quickly hitting enter (yay muscle memory!) without considering that it is going to NXDOMAIN, having to then go back to the search bar, type in `browserconfig.xml` again and then go through the chore of identifying which drop-down autocomplete entry should be used to invoke a search rather than a navigation is considerably longer than the time it takes to perform either a search or a DNS query in the background. The point being, it's not a good idea to simultaneously perform both a DNS lookup and initiate a search (for privacy reasons) and sequentially performing these tasks one after the other in case of a failure of the first does not result in a user unfriendly UX due to the delay/lack of parallelization. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

The current scope is to provide an experience identical to the old bar, to limit the confusion for users and QA, but it could surely be one of the things we want to do sooner than later. Should we use it through nsIEffectiveTLDService? I just tried to use getPublicSuffixFromHost, but it doesn't seem to do any kind of verification, it doesn't seem to have a strict option, so I assume we'd have to add a new method to check a given host. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263505 Title: Wishlist: add "use input as a search term" to "address not found" page Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Altogether too often when I get the "Address Not Found" page, it is because I expected too much from the Wonderful Bar or whatever it's called.

Sure, the question is whether you want identical behaviour for someone typing: www.somenonexistingdomain.com and array.each both of which currently would return the same server not found error (in some cases after considerable time). I would argue that the behaviour should not be the same, in that the former should try to resolve first and not bother doing a search (but maybe provide UI on the error page to do a search) whereas the latter should search first. DNS doesn't allow you to distinguish these; a list of IANA-registered TLDs would.
