310880 - filenames or directories with unicode unable to be opened in firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308159

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Toland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

I had a document with some kanji in the directory name and firefox 1.5b1 would
show this error when I tried to open it:

Actual file path: F:\Downloads\1月2\test.txt
Location shown: file:///F:/Downloads/1%3F2/test.txt
Error shown:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /F:/Downloads/1?2/test.txt.

I did a test with a different kanji and placed it in the filename instead of the
path and the same error occured:

Actual file path: F:\Downloads\3田4.txt
Location shown: file:///F:/Downloads/3%3F4.txt
Error shown:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /F:/Downloads/3?4.txt.

Which leads me to the conclusion that Firefox 1.5b1 isn't able to open files
with unicode in it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a file or directory with unicode in it.
2. Open the file or directory inside Firefox
   a. This can be done by "drag and drop" or file->open
3. Error should be displayed

Actual Results:  
File Not Found error is displayed.

Expected Results:  
Should've opened the file. If it was text, should displayed the text. If it was
an image, should display the image.
