Public bug reported:

URLs beginning with "//" should inherit the parent document's protocol,
however when using the context menu to open an image in a new tab or
copy an image URL an incorrect URL is provided. Currently it treats
these URLs as if they began with a single / and adds the parent
document's domain to the URL.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Touch

2. Long press on an image

3. Select open new tab

Expect result:

Image should open in new tab

Actual result:

404 due to incorrect URL being generated
