[TYPO3-core] RFC Bug #11009: External Links get prepended with http://typo3 in the RTEhtmlarea in Firefox 3.0.11/3.5b4

[Martin Kuster]

Hello,

Tested with 4.2.6/4.1.10 and the following firefox builds:
- 2.0.0.21
- 3.0.10
- 3.0.11
- latest 3.0.X trunk
- latest 3.5 trunk

Everything works fine and IDN domains are handled correctly in all 
combinations.
(Except that 3.5 renders IDN domains to ACE notation with 4.1.10, but 
that seems to be another issue)


So +1 from me.

Best regards
Martin Kuster
