751565 - Accentuated domain name display

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 467252

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Tiller]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120417165043

Steps to reproduce:

I bought the domain http://ô-o.net/


Actual results:

It displays on the URL-bar : http://xn---o-7ja.net/


Expected results:

It shoulds display : http://ô-o.net/ like the others browsers.

I think the url displayed is the "real adress" behind the accentuated domain name. But it's pretty uggly :)

What other browsers are you referring to ?

IE9 and Chrome dev 20 both display your actual results, as does latest dev version of Firefox, m-c win32 on win7 x64. 

IE9 displays an error msg:  Web address displays letters or symbols that cannot be displayed.

I would suggest this is INVALID - you will need to change the Domain name I guess.

It works fine with :

IE 9.0.8112
Chrome 17.0.963
Chrome 18.0.1025
Opera 11.62 rev1347

I didn't try others.

The net-TLD is not on the whitelist found at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html. 

Thus you have to override the security precautions taken by Mozilla and add "network.IDN.whitelist.net true" in your about:config (or convince the the .net-registry to fulfill the requirements and sign up on the list).
