Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

Hello, this error occure when i try to open an html-file which is placed in a
folder with a name included a german umlaut.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Folder named "Tüt"
2. Place a html File into
3. Open it with Firefox

Actual Results:  
Firefox doesn't open the html. I'm sorry, my error is in german:

--Warnung--
Die Datei /c:/T%/test.html konnte nicht gefunden werden. bitte überprüfen Sie
den Namen und versuchen Sie es nochmals.

I think in English the error sounds like that:

--Warning--
The File /c:/T%FCt/test.html can't be found. Please check the name and try it again.

Expected Results:  
It should open the html file.

This error didn't occure, when you open the Firefox Browser and drag the file
via drag & drop into the window.

The error only occurs when there is already an open firefox window (see also
duplicate Bug 269795), so steps to reproduce would be:

1. Open a firefox window
2. Create a file with a special char, for example: C:\tüt.html
3. Open the windows explorer, open the created file with firefox
