272359 - Use of keyword link shortcut with %s used with fragment id change # to %23

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 270703

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[David McRitchie]

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

If I set up a keyword shortcut for   xl:   such as
  file:///c:/localsite/dmcritchie/excel/%s

and then enter a file.ext  with a fragment id  as follows: 
   xl: fillhand.htm#mouse

the # is converted to %23  so the following is not found as changed
   file:///c:/localsite/dmcritchie/excel/fillhand.htm%23mouse
because it should be a link to
   file:///c:/localsite/dmcritchie/excel/fillhand.htm#mouse 
   
     

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




Would actually think Firefox would browse file with either %23 or with #
like in a hyperlink reference in HTML. 

BTW are there other things besides  %s   for substitutions in keyword shortcuts.
