I'm not familiar with the pedigree of maybeCanonizeURL. It looks like the functionality was originally introduced in 2002 by Hyatt with no bug number. It does look like IE still does this type of completion. Philipp, what do you want to do? (note that "keep matching IE on Windows" != "only change this on OS X"; we should specialcase Windows, not OS X) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/66566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
