Firefox is adding a ? in front of mailto: links.  The links are correctly formed
in the format of: 

<a href="mailto:user@host">text</a>

There are no special characters which might be represented by a question mark
when Firefox can't find the character in the document character set. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to any page with a mailto: link such as the one listed above
2.  Note that the page says:

    Please ?email me to tell me



Expected Results:  
There should be no question mark.

If this is happening to every mailto: link, you probably have an extension or
user CSS that is adding it.  Please check and let us know.
