User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206151436

Steps to reproduce:


http:/%70%61%73%74%65%62%69%6E.com

should be equivalent to

http:/pastebin.com

and it works with Chromium (a Debian derivative of the Google Chrome),
but it does not work with FireFox.

Reprodution can be conducted by copy-pasting the 
http:/%70%61%73%74%65%62%69%6E.com

to the URL field.


Actual results:

Displayed an error message with the text: 
"Server not found. 
Firefox can't find the server at www.%70%61%73%74%65%62%69%6e.com."


Expected results:

http:/pastebin.com should have been loaded. 
The Chromium browser did load it.

I can't reproduce this neither with Firefox 26 nor with latest Aurora (build ID: 20140105004002) on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.

Could you please try the following :

1) try this with a clean profile: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

2) running in Safe mode: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
