Description

In Firefox 3, permalinks are not being escaped.

For example, instead of 

http://osmosoft.com/#%5B%5BOpenTech%202008%5D%5D

Firefox 3 generates this: 

http://osmosoft.com/#[[OpenTech 2008]]

While permalinks' brackets are not escaped in Firefox 3, all major browsers (IE6+, FF2+, Safari) seem to interpret this correctly.

Replying to FND:

While permalinks' brackets are not escaped in Firefox 3, all major browsers (IE6+, FF2+, Safari) seem to interpret this correctly.

Although un-encoded brackets work within the various browsers' URL location fields, if an FF3-generated permalink is copied and pasted into the body of a message it will not be properly interpreted by GoogleGroups?, GMail, and other web sites. This problem also exists with many email programs, including OutlookExpress? and Thunderbird, which need the brackets to be URL-encoded to %5B and %5D in order to recognize the full extent of a URL embeddded in the message content.
