Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add https://www.morfix.co.il/%s as a bookmark with custom keyword as "m".
  2. Use the the address bar to search for a Hebrew string with this keyword: "m בדיקה".

Actual results:

The result is https://www.morfix.co.il/%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F which contains wrong string, composed of only question marks (%3F) and redirect to 404 error page.

Expected results:

Should redirect to:
https://www.morfix.co.il/%D7%91%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%94

BTW I don't know if it's releated but I'm also using there suggested search plugin. And this website favicon is as a favicon for other unrelated websites: https://i.imgur.com/0rtiTGp.png

Works for me, whether I add the search plug-in via the search bar, or I create a bookmark with a %s placeholder. I didn't attempt to set up both at the same time.

I'm also using there suggested search plugin.

I see no difference compared to your bookmark. I suggest you delete the bookmark and then go to about:preferences#search and assign the m keyword to the search engine there.

That's a separate issue. It's not easy to pin it down, as shown in bug 1533480. I suggest you clear your icon cache by deleting favicons.sqlite* from your profile folder while Firefox isn't running.

Thanks, it's working! That's good, but still there is some kind of bug with Hebrew characters and bookmark keyword search.

I did it. I'm not sure if it solved the problem. Anyway I have other weird problems like resetting my search providers to old state.

OK, now I'm sure it did solved the problem. Still some websites using this website's favicon, but not immediately but after some use.

I cannot reproduce as well, I created a bookmark, assigned the keyword and tries to search for the given string using it.
I'm resolving, if you could reproduce the problem starting from a separate clean profile, with specific steps, it would be interesting for us to know about it.
