If one tries to log on a website using the http://login:password@url/ scheme, and the password contains a slash character ('/'), the connection fails.
Firefox probably fails to correctly interpret the URL due to the '/' character.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a website which permits to log in with the http://login:password@url/ scheme
2. Register an account with a password containing a '/'
3. Try to log in
Actual Results:  
The page does not display.

Expected Results:  
The site should be appear and you should be logged in.
Try escaping the / as %2F.  I don't think this is a bug.
It seems to do the trick, indeed.
-> INVALID, based on comment 1/comment 2.
