When you click on an Unicode URL like http://www.müller.de/ in an external application like Thunderbird, Firefox does not encode it correctly to puny code, but urlencode which prevents a connection. e.g. Firefox can't find the server at www.m%c3%bcller.de. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter existing and valid URL with Unicode Chars into Thunderbird
2.Click on URL to open
3.see error Page in Firefox
Actual Results:  
Firefox tries to open the URL urlencoded (http://www.m%c3%bcller.de/)

Expected Results:  
Firefox should open the URL as punycode (xn--mller-kva.de)

Also tested with Vista and Firefox 3 Beta 5
