Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 263570

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lauri Laitinen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fi-FI; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fi-FI; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041108 Firefox/1.0

I have a folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Lauri\My Documents\My
Documents\Opinnot\vanhat\S-38.188 Tietoliikenneverkot (3 ov)\Vanhoja tenttejä)
where I store old exams from a particular university course. I saved a .htm file
in that folder and tried to open it. Then FF showed an error that said in
Finnish: "Tiedostoa \C:\Documents and Settings\Lauri\My Documents\My
Documents\Opinnot\vanhat\S-38.188 Tietoliikenneverkot (3 ov)\Vanhoja tenttej%E4
ei löydy. Tarkista sen sijainti ja yritä uudelleen." It says in English
something like "The file ... can't be found. Check it's location and try again."
So the ä-letter was changed into %E4. I changed ä to a and the problem
disappeared.  The problem appears also on other scandinavian letters like ö ->
%F6 and å -> %E5. It appears also when the file itself includes scandinavian
letters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a .htm or .html file in a folder.
2. Name that folder or file so that it includes scandinavian letters.
3. Open it.

Actual Results:  
Firefox reported that it can't find the file.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened the file normally.
