270515 - Smart Keyword Search (bookmark shortcuts): International/non-ascii characters (e.g. umlauts) aren't encoded correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258223

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[trash17]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Since FF1.0 the smart keyword search doesn't work with umlauts anymore. If you
type "e säge" (when 'e' is defined for
'http://search.ebay.de/search/search.dll?query=%s') then ebay reports "säge"
instead of "säge". this happens on amazon, dict.leo.org, etc...
In FF0.93 the words with special characters are encoded correctly, so i compared
the browser.js of both programs and i found out, that if you replace the line
'shortcutURL = shortcutURL.match(/%s/) ? shortcutURL.replace(/%s/g,
encodeURIComponent(text)) : null;'
with the old line from FF0.93
'shortcutURL = shortcutURL.match(/%s/) ? shortcutURL.replace(/%s/, text) : null;'
all umlauts are encoded correctly again.

Reproducible: Always

sorry for the umlauts again. they were broken in the description. i mean the
pendant for 'ae' 'oe' and 'ue' - ä ö ü

rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0.  For more information, see:

The solution seems to have been posted in that thread as well.

yes, it is SIMILAR, but for me it is NOT the same bug, because all other "bugs"
with character encoding work for me. i have only the "smart keyword
search"-problem. anyone else?
