a space is invalid in an URL and it must be escaped as %20. -> invalid because this is by design

if same is done through IE 7, the file html file opens normally. so if IE 7 can take care of this why firefox can't.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt " Unsafe: Characters can be unsafe for a number of reasons. The space character is unsafe because significant spaces may disappear and insignificant spaces may be introduced when URLs are transcribed or typeset or subjected to the treatment of word-processing programs. ..... All unsafe characters must always be encoded within a URL." You have to send a bug report to Microsoft because IE7 violates the RFC
