Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When calling a keyworded bookmark with %s parameter it is encoded in UTF-8.
However many international search engines don't understand it, expecting data
encoded with the same charset that they display their web pages.

I beleive bookmark should store required charset. Also, when adding bookmark
keyword from a context menu on a web page bookmark's charset should be
automatically prefilled with page's charset.

Reproducible: Always

Ah... Since there is already a bug about charset I'll form this one into
prefiliing LAST_CHARSET on adding a bookmark keyword.

Just tried this with recent nightlies of 1.5 branch and it works for me!

What a brilliant idea this auto-resolve is :-)
