[Bug 230308] [NEW] [Hardy] Installing Finnish language add-on to Firefox 3 breaks address bar's "feeling lucky" functionality

[Risto Välimäki]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

One of the more handy features in Firefox is the address bar: when you
type non-url text in address bar, Firefox googles the best matching url
and goes there. If search result is ambiguous, Firefox should display
google's search page.

Unfortunately, for Finnish users, this feature is somewhat broken in
Hardy.

When I type for example "ubuntu finland" into the address bar...

What should happen:
    Firefox should go to the url "http://www.ubuntu-fi.org/"

What happens instead:
    Instead it tries to go to "www.ubuntu finland.com" which of course doesn't exist.

However, if I disable the Finnish language pack (and restart Firefox), address bar works as it should.
(to disable: Tools->Add-ons->Languages and select Firefox(fi) and then disable)

(I have tested this on 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu and
Kubuntu-KDE4 (all Hardys) in three different machines.)

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
