Steps to reproduce:

1) Visited the site https://quality.mozilla.org/docs/test-case-writing-primer/test-case-writing-primer/
2) Entered some values in the Comments sections 


Actual results:

1) When a complete web address was added to the text box "Your Website" in the format, "www.abc.com", an error was shown. 
2) When only the value "http:" was entered, no error was shown 


Expected results:

1) An error should be shown when only "http:" is entered as it is not a complete website. 

As an additional note, the value https:// can be set by default, making the users to enter only their website.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, 4 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
