Description
I got a Random Disk space error with a folder that has non-ascii characters as a name.
Since yesterday i was able to reproduce it 2 times. but most of the times it accepts the folder and installs fine.
Tested on
Windows10 64 bit using firefox 32bit version
Firefox nightly 80.0a1, Firefox Beta 79.0b9 and Firefox release 78.0.2
Since it is random, i was able to see it in Firefox nightly so far.
Steps
- Create a folder in desktop and as name insert some non ascii characters ș#☈☎☢𐌸置七
- install firefox, select custom install
- Select folder from step1 and continue with the setup.
Actual result
insufficient disk space error showed up, randomly.
Expected result
no error should be shown. It installs fine most of the time, but not sure why it failed some times.

This is kinda bad, we might end up wanting to give this one a higher priority.

I'd gently suggest that we consider rejecting unusual paths (if we can define what that means) rather than necessarily fixing the underlying back Unicode handling. Presumably the latter is harder than the former. But yes, handling OS paths correctly seems important.
Not sure if this happens only on nightly or on other versions as well given the random results that i get.
