Where do you report false positives in the URL typo correction function? Since this feature has been created, Firefox tried to correct:

Since this feature has been created, Firefox tried to correct: * http://www.bbfc.co.uk to http://www.bbc.co.uk * http://commons.wikimedia.org to http://commons.wikipedia.org (note: the former is correct, the latter redirects to the former) and one more URL which I have forgotten.
