If one is using "base domain" strictness, going to a location with a single-word hostname (e.g. "localhost") results in not recognizing a hostname at all.

For example:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

results in the following blocked destinations in the menu:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/favicon.ico
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/pring.css
...

This bug is the result of the refactoring done to modules/DomainUtil.jsm in r274 where I removed the "fall through" of trying to grab a different identifier from the URI if the default level's logic fails.
