Steps to reproduce:

I use a lot of bookmarklets (https://github.com/janmoesen/bookmarklets) that take parameters (e.g. "enw mozilla firefox" to load the English Wikipedia). The parameter string %s seems to encode spaces as "+" instead of "%20" now (latest nightlies).

mozregression pointed to this pushlog: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=7452437b3ab571b1d60aed4e973d82a1471f72b2&tochange=a71215ad8ab820b2310f5dd38fcfded38d18768b

Bug 1306639 was the only one that seemed to mention the location bar and bookmarks.

Simplest test case: create a bookmarklet with location "data:text/plain,%s" and keyword "test", then type "test foo bar" in the location bar and press Enter.



Actual results:

Result: "data:text/plain,foo+bar"


Expected results:

Expected: "data:text/plain,foo%20bar"

(Shown in the location bar as "data:text/plain,foo bar")
