Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008022704 Minefield/3.0b4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008022704 Minefield/3.0b4pre

Using the new "Get Adds-ons" feature, if the user types in spaces in the search and then clicks the "See all results" link, Firefox will open a tab and replace all the spaces with %2520 in the URL such that the actual search ends up replacing the spaces with %20.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Get Add-ons, search for "tab list" (without quotes)
2. Click "See all results"

Actual Results:  
A new tab opens with the URL "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=tab%2520list" which populates the search box on that page with "tab%20list".  This finds no results.

Expected Results:  
The tab should open the URL "https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=tab%20list" which will populate the search box on that page with "tab list" and find results.

This may affect other escaped characters, but I couldn't find any results when entering them.
