Firefox does it's best to reconstruct what it thought you might have meant in that invalid HTML. Since ' is a valid entity that is the best match. If you actually want Firefox to get things right use valid HTML.

Ok, but if you want to try the best:
If a equal sign (=) follows (and not a semicolon), the best would be to
leave it as it was...
Or:
?pos=6&wpos=1&bpos=4&apos=4
Here non of the other &... parts is an entity, why interpreting the last one?

Because pos, bpos, wpos aren't the starts of valid entities. apos is, in fact it is a perfect match. Firefox is assuming you only made the mistake of omitting a ";" rather than making the mistake of omitting "amp;"
