Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

Go to URL:
http://example.com/f=hello%7Chi

copy the query part from firefox results in:
f=hello|hi

Actual results:

pasting this back into firefox and pressing enter results in | being send un-encoded to the web server, this results in some webservers e.g. tomcat being in-happy since they expect | to be encoded

Expected results:

Instead copying should result in:
f=hello%7Chi
so that I can past it back into firefox OR edit the URL without firefox sending characters that should be encoded.
