I am using Mozilla Firefox browser. I noticed the difference between Firefox and Chrome browser.

I'm from Vietnam. In Vietnam there is a new type of domain name "domain name is unsigned". For example http://daotaoseo.com (http://xn--otoseo-hta50bp48t.com/).

If I use Chrome browser, the domain name "http://xn--otoseo-hta50bp48t.com/" will run on the domain with the sign "http://daotaoseo.com", or I type "http :/ / daotaoseo.com "will still run on the domain with the sign" http://daotaoseo.com ". However Firefox will not.  I type in any domain name that the browser will match is hard to remember a domain name "http://xn--otoseo-hta50bp48t.com/".

As a user who uses Firefox regularly, I hope Mozilla will add this feature.

I'm not what your problem here really is, but if it's only about the display of the URL, then there's something you should know. By default, Firefox doesn't show IDN characters for the .com TLD, because they're not yet safe to use.

It's possible to allow these kinds of URL's for .com, by creating the variable "network.IDN.whitelist.com" in about:config, and setting it to true. Bug 770877 will soon change the default.

But when I tried that, I noticed that you're giving a bad example. <http://xn--otoseo-hta50bp48t.com/> is NOT identical to <http://daotaoseo.com/>, but to <http://đàotạoseo.com/>. There are 3 characters different : đ, à and ạ !

And even worse, they're NOT even pointing to the same website :

http://daotaoseo.com/ points to ip-address 120.50.185.28 (it shows a website)
http://đàotạoseo.com/ points to ip-address 204.93.183.35 (it redirects, but then prints an error)

I have used some of the Browser utility chomre and Mozilla Firefox, however I installed the add-on SeoQuake to use the add-on that requires the Mozilla Firefox 3.4.6, which I find not see such legal nostalgic.

About Mozilla Firefox I use regularly by the useful features of this browser is quite convenient and faster chomre.
