This is in fact the auto-completion. We use gnome-vfs for the doing the
filesystem autocompletion, and a by-product of that is we can do
completion for FTP sites, and HTTP sites if webdav is enabled. (well,
also ssh://, scp://, smb://, but mozilla itself can't handle them :) )

This is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125005

I keep meaning to add a check in our filesystem autocompletion code to
only do the directory lookups for things starting '/' or 'file:///'
