Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
In its address bar firefox replaces "%20" with " " which is supposed to increase readability. However, when I copy and paste an url from the address bar, the spaces are not replaces with "%20" again making the pasted url useless. People in #firefox on irc.mozilla.com say their version does in fact put %20 back when copying & pasting the url.
i.e.: opening "http://
What I want it one of two things:
either make FF3 stop replacing %20 with " " as I can easily parse %20 et al in head
or make it modify the copied text (or modify the text before copying) so that the clipboard contains a valid and usable url.
This is FF3 version Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 from the hardy package. I don't use ctrl+c to copy, I just mark the text and paste via middlemouse.
Unable to reproduce at Hardy 8.04. Copying "http:// example. com/url with space.html" from address bar and pasting the latter will yield "http:// example. com/url% 20with% 20space. html" for me. Try some tips from https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/MozillaTeam /Bugs
