Steps to reproduce:
Search in the URL "https://indianexpress.com/"
Try appending the URL address as "/indian mata" (with space) (Ex. "https://indianexpress.com/indian mata")
Actual results:
This was the URL displayed: https://indianexpress.com/indian mata
Firefox does not encode the space automatically when searching for the URL but does encode it when copying from the address bar.
Expected results:
Firefox should ideally either:
- Encode the space to %20 in the address bar when searching (just like Chrome), or
- At least show the URL as %20 when the user searches for it and not just when copying.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The url shown to the user is decoded to improve its readability. When copied it gets encoded because some third party apps don't work well with decoded URIs. There is an about:config option browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy
to control the copy behavior.
