User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home?param=some%20text
Note how the URL appears unescaped in the location bar.
Click the location bar.
Hit "C"
Hit Ctrl+Z until the URL comes back
Hit Ctrl+A, then CTRL+C
Paste the URL into a text editor.

This seems to occur if you make any kind of edit to the url e.g. appending a space or a "#", even if you undo said edits.

This doesn't occur in Chrome, Edge or IE11 because all show the escape URL in the location bar.

Actual results:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home?param=some text

Expected results:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/home?param=some%20text
