    305724 was marked a duplicate of an already-fixed bug.

    Bug 305724 does exist in these builds. Bug 305724 was caused a while ago by the fix for bug 292731 and then fixed today by the patch in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292731#c28. I don’t know why Brendan marked it as a duplicate rather than as fixed.

    A side-effect of Bug 289362 is that bookmark keywords have been improved (necessary to work with Answers.com). I think this means that having a keyword for the Internet Acrchive’s WayBack Machine should now work.

    For example if you define wm as the keyword for http://web.archive.org/*/%s then you should be able to view archived versions of a page simply by inserting “wm” before the current URL (that is, type Ctrl+L w m Space Enter.. But I haven’t tried this build yet, so I might be wrong!

    Smylers: the wm thing sort-of works, except characters like : and / in URLs are escaped, which the Internet Archive doesn’t like.

    The Google-owns-Mozilla conspiracy theorists are going to love the change from Dictionary.com to Answers.com, especially given that it was made by a Google employee and exactly mirrors the change Google made with respect to its provider of dictionary definitions for its own search results.

    Alex: That’s a shame — that’s what a WayBack Machine keyword does at the moment. Reading Bug 289362 it seemed that Answers.com use the same format as the WayBack machine, so I was hoping that Ben’s changes would have fixed this.
