I dunno man, that never happened to me, if it redirects to google you probably accidentally misspelled something and so it wasn't a valid URL any more so it interpreted it as a query. It also always tries to http whenever I type http://... Only if the server isn't running and it fails it tries with https
So I do some custom development I run a docker container and want to access the web page from my phone hosted from my PC but first want to test if is reachable with the IP of my machine I put http://192.168.1.126 :9123 into the address bar of Firefox, and get redirected to google search.
Fcuk Firefox, I used this browser for years but no more, all this great privacy and security is a junk. Can't paste images to Web WhatsApp because of some security bullshit!
Switched to Librewolf but generally fcuk all browsers for http:// forced to https , the browser should be smart to detect 192.168.x.x IP and not redirect knowing it's fcuking local address!
