I get a warning on 2.0.0.11 Linux Ubuntu

You are about to log into the site "google" with the username
"www%2Ecnn () 2Ecom%c0%AF%C0%AF%C0%C0%80", but the website does not require
authentication. this may be an attempt to trick you Is "google" the site
you want to visit.?

is this a 2.0.0.12 issue?
