Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

[Mozilla upstream suggests this might be an Ubuntu problem, so I’m filling a report here.]

Before letting you visit a potentially confusing URL with an embedded HTTP username:password, Firefox pops up a “helpful” warning dialog asking you to confirm the site you intended to visit. Unfortunately, it asks you to confirm that you intend to visit the _username_, not that you intend to visit the real site!

Confirm

You are about to log in to the site "members.tripod.com" with the username "www%2Egoogle%2Ecom", but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.

Is "www%2Egoogle%2Ecom" the site you want to visit?

[No] [Yes]

I’m using firefox-3.0 3.0.2+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2, xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.2+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu intrepid amd64.
