FF3 autocomplete is NOT case sensitive

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

if an already typed URL uses small letter, and a user then tries to type a caps url, the autocomplete will use the 1st one.

example:
* http://www.example.com/DEMO.txt
will make impossible to type:
* http://www.example.com/demo.txt or http://www.example.com/demo.TXT or any other caps combination.

maybe you didnt have the 1st address memorized on FF.
The example I gave aint the best one, because those pages wont open.

But I've just tested again, and I can reproduce it in two diferent computers, one of them running windows xp, so I guess this should be sent upstream and fixed on FF b4 or b5

ps. My emails tend to sound authority and aggressive. I'm sorry in advance. I'll try to be more assertive as time goes by...

Hi Pedro.
Beta 4 seems to fix it.
I'll give it a bigger test, when I can.
