Given custom protocol, URL contructor doesn't understand the search parameters part of the URL. For example, in Firefox you get the following:

> var u = new URL("doge:amaze?wow=true&such=false");
> u.protocol
> // "doge:"
> u.pathname
> // "amaze?wow=true&such=false"
> u.search
> // ""

whereas in Chrome, pathname and search part of the URL correctly extracted:

> u.pathname
> // "amaze"
> u.search
> // "?wow=true&such=false"

Baku, can you check what the spec says here?

FWIW, nsSimpleURI only separates the spec to protocol, path and hash.

Spec says: If c is "?", set url’s query to the empty string, and state to query state.

Our implementation is wrong.

Sorry for the late feedback, forgot to submit it.
Found 2 bugs at first glance. Didn't look at the code too closely, but overall it looks good.

There are a few issues with the patch, and it needs a lot more tests.
Also, did you do a try run? I just looking at some of the instances where we QI to nsIURL, and we might be breaking something with this [1]
We can either audit all 84 instances of "<nsIURL>" [2], or create another IDL called nsIURIWithQuery (or similar) that extends nsIURI - adds the filePath attribute, and nsIURL would extend this new IDL. I think this would be more elegant, and less prone to bugs.

This is wrong. It should be something like ((hashPos > -1) ? hashPos : path.Length()) - queryPos)

I caught this with a simple use case:
var url = new URL("scheme://test/bla/stuff?query#ref");
equal(url.search, "?query") # returned ?que
Before landing please add tests covering all branches, including the setters.

Not sure we need the WARN_IF since neither SetQuery of SetRef return an error code except when changing a mutable URI, which can't happen here.

You also need to check if the string includes #
Otherwise:
var url = new URL("scheme://test/bla/stuff?query#bla1");
url.search = "test#ref"
url.search # returns "test#ref"
url.href # returns "scheme://test/bla/stuff?test#ref#bla1"

The test is included in the patch. I added a test in test_url.html.

Check the test_url.html comments. There is 1 thing to fix, but it can be a follow up.

If it QIs to nsIURL it should definitely QI to nsIURIWithQuery, so you can remove this part.

We don't need 2 tests that setting the pathname doesn't work :)

use esc_Query instead of esc_OnlyNonASCII, and remove the search for hashPos.

I've added a footnote to the compat tables on the relevant ref pages to make people aware of this bug:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils/pathname

I've also added a note to the Fx53 release notes page:

Let me know if this look OK. Thanks!

Actually, it was working properly for well-known procotols, so the example in the footnotes (http://z.com/x?a=true&b=false) works as expected even before this fix.
