If you search for an addon with a space in for example 'Web Developer' the 'See all results' links leads to

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web%2520Developer

instead of 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web+Developer

The url is being escaped, but the website then doesn't support the unescaped space character, so either the website needs to support the way the add-ons sends the link or the url needs to not be escaped I guess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Tools --> Add-Ons
2.  Search for something with a space eg Web Developer
3.  Click the 'See all results' link
4.  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web%2520Developer opens but it needs to be blah/search?q=Web+Developer
Actual Results:  
Wrong url opens.

Expected Results:  
Either opened https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web+Developer or the website allow for the url to be encoded.
