Firefox 301 redirect for non-URL image src. Bug or feature?

You can do the trick like so:

  1. Open any website without SSL in Firefox, then open console
  2. Execute this code: var img = new Image(); img.src = 'something';
  3. You'll get 301 redirect at 'http://example.com/something' (not just image URL, but document URL will be changed).

So, is it a bug or feature?

P.S. instead of example.com can be any website.

I had to go through my extensions and disable some "search me" malware add-on. Try disabling your add-ons one by one to find if one of them is the culprit

Did you tried something like 'http://example.com'? Because 'example.com' could also be an folder on your server or client
