Doesn’t open any html file launched with double click from windows explorer if
the file is under a path with a foreign character as C:/Música/. Drag and drop
over a Firefox window works and trying when Firefox is not running also works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Self deducible.
Actual Results:  
Child window saying "Doesn’t exist or can’t access...". Top tab in actual
instance of Firefox crashes, loses contextual menus and address bar blanks.



Expected Results:  
Opening the file.

Should not be better that any translation of foreign characters remain
transparent to the user and address bar show file:///C:/Música/Google.html
instead of file:///C:/M%FAsica/Google.html?. Other browsers work this way.
Summary: Can’t open html files launched from windows explorer if a foreign character (accent) is in the path and actually Firefox is running. → Can't open HTML files launched from Windows Explorer if a foreign character (accent) is in the path and Firefox is already running.
