(Whiteboard: [necko-would-take])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130605070403 Steps to reproduce: * Navigate to a URL that ends in a period * Single click URL in the URL bar, and copy it * Paste it in an email (e.g. gmail) to be sent to a friend Actual results: The trailing period is not escaped, and gmail (as well as possibly other systems) will think the period is part of a sentence, not URL, making the URL invalid. Expected results: On copy, FF should have escaped the trailing period with %2E.
