Do you mean the address bar input field, or the results popup?

It is the address bar input field.

I think this has just gotten much worse on Nightly in the last week or perhaps two (not sure which as I don’t update every day): I never noticed any problem before (but I don’t often use Firefox when in tablet mode), but now when I return to desktop mode I am observing the address bar results dropdown staying open persistently (!) on all windows and never closing again until I kill the browser (though just now when trying it out, opening a result in a new tab with Alt+Enter did proceed to close it, but I’m pretty sure I tried that yesterday and the day before when I encountered this situation, unsuccessfully).

I would say this is now an important bug which substantially harms users that may easily encounter it. Most of the time I’m in a fairly bandwidth-constrained environment, so I can’t currently help with finding a regression window.

Welcome to the club. Though it is a slightly different bug than the one reported here. What you see is probably the one Marco referred to above. That other bug is at P2 but maybe it should get more attention...

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I'm not aware of any specific issues in Firefox related to an encoded backslash () in a URL. Firefox is one of the popular web browsers developed by Mozilla, and it generally follows web standards when handling URLs and special characters.

However, if you're encountering problems with a URL that contains an encoded backslash, here are a few things to consider:

1. URL Encoding: URLs use percent encoding to represent special characters. A backslash is not a reserved character in URLs, so it doesn't need to be encoded in most cases. However, if you do need to include a backslash in a URL, you would typically encode it as %5C.

2. Compatibility: Some websites or web applications might have issues handling certain special characters, including backslashes. This can depend on how the web server and the application are configured to handle URLs and input data.

3. Firefox Extensions: Sometimes, browser extensions can interfere with how URLs are processed. If you're using any extensions in Firefox, consider temporarily disabling them to see if the issue persists.

4. Web Standards: If you're encountering problems with a specific website, it's possible that the website's implementation is not conforming to web standards. This could lead to unexpected behavior in various browsers, not just Firefox.

5. Bug or Update: If you believe that you've found a bug in Firefox related to handling URLs with encoded backslashes, it's a good idea to check if there are any updates available for the browser. Bugs and compatibility issues are often addressed in newer versions of software.

6. Test in Other Browsers: To troubleshoot further, you might want to test the same URL in other popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This can help you determine if the issue is specific to Firefox or if it's more widespread.

Remember that browser behavior and web standards can change over time, so it's a good idea to search for any recent information or updates related to your specific issue. If you're experiencing persistent problems, you might want to reach out to Mozilla's support or community forums for assistance.
