I clicked on the link in a page. The link redirected me to the Adobe Reader
download. It goes fine in IE6/XPSP2. I wonder what had happened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto the page of the specific link.
2. Click on the link.
Actual Results:  
Redirected. I don't know if there is any other thing which had done.

Expected Results:  
There shouldn't be such a redirection.

Going to http://xn--ghqq52cm7f5q2b/ redirects me to the Macromedia Flash player
download page.

Firefox is doing an I'm Feeling Lucky on this search:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%E6%8C%89%E6%AD%A4%E4%B8%8B%E8%BC%89
when it discovers that it cannot resolve the hostname xn--ghqq52cm7f5q2b.

(I determined this by guessing, and then by removing the btnI part from
keyword.url using about:config to test.)

I guess this means IDN translation happens (punycode -> UTF8?) when bug 184814
is triggered.
