Screenshot (current): Encoded link location in Link Properties dialog (not user friendly)
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1707360 +++
Since bug 1707360, we're now internally encoding link location of a link provided by user so that it won't break along the way. Unfortunately, when editing the properties of such a link, we will now also show the encoded link location, which is hard to read and may be confusing for users.
Just like FF location bar, we can easily decode the link location before showing the Link Properties dialog so as to make it more readable and user-friendly.
I have a patch.

Here's a one-liner to decode the link location in the Link Properties dialog for better readability.

I don't know. This isn't a url bar. If you go into the link properties you want to see what the link properties really are, maybe to figure out why some message isn't working properly. Say for the original bug...

I don't think we should change this.
