Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
on this page:
http://
there is a link that reads "Click here to view now!"
The HREF is javascript:
When you right click the text link, however, and select Copy Link Location, Firefox (3.0+ only) converts the spaces between the JS variables into %20. This is fine for standard HTTP:// links, but it breaks the javascript link when I try to paste it elsewhere. It looks like this:
javascript:
Every time I copy a link this way, i have to paste it into a text editor and then replace all "%20" with a space. Then i have to recopy that if I want to paste the link somewhere else.
This did NOT happen in Firefox 2.x browsers. This is something I use DAILY at work (I work for Streaming Faith) and it really makes things difficult, because when (not if) I forget to remove the %20s, the javascript function doesn't run.
