Quickly ctrl + v pasting into URL bar and pressing enter may result in unintended URL visit

Edit: I didn't realize ctrl + enter made Firefox treat a search query as a URL. So I assumed my issue was from going too fast. If I ctrl + v and press enter before I let off control, this occurs. Original text is left below for historical purposes.

If I have to look up the spelling for a word or the definition, I usually copy the word, open my browser, and quickly paste it in. However if I go too fast in Mypal 68 it instead treats it like a url appending .com when I meant to search it. Modern versions of Firefox don't have this problem. This could result in ending up on a malicious website on a kinda outdated browser that may have a vulnerability.

Since I know it is upstream, I figured I might as well see where it stopped being an issue. In 84a1, this change was pushed which fixes the problem. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/4c449cde60a7ab3c7f305ffec29d56b04487bf43

How would this also be 101? It's another upstream issue. Unrelated to keyword.enabled.
