when i open a wikipedia article with Chinese or Cyrillic characters in the address bar the ASCII translation gets re-translated from the original language .

for example the Firefox info in Chinese language wikipedia is : http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%81%AB%E7%8B%90%E7%8B%B8 ( this is the way in Firefox )

http://zh.wikipedia.org/火狐狸 [ the address is shown with Chinese Characters ] ( in Opera browser when copied the above address bar is preserved the sintaxis in the original language , in this case it is Chinese language )

for example the [ ORANGE ] info in Russian language wikipedia is ( address bar in Firefox ) : https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BD

for example the [ ORANGE ] info in Russian language wikipedia is ( address bar in Opera ) : https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Апельсин


in [ OPERA ] browser the web site address bar keeps the original characters on display ! so when you copy & paste the link of the address from the address bar to share with friends on social network or by e-mail or bookmark it ... the original address is displayed ( kept in tact ) , in Firefox we don't have this privilege ?? !! is there are work around for this problem or anybody can suggest an add-on utility which can fix it ??

thank you for your ideas or helping fix this problem on Firefox for the future versions & updates. thumbs up ! great work so far , but fixing this will be a major improvement , i remember in some of the previous versions this was not a problem and use to be fine, i guess with some of the engine updates somebody forget to keep the original cycle ( loop ) of definition instructions when displaying the address in original language to keep that info when copying and pasting the content of the address bar.

see the article about [preference network.standard-url.escape-utf8.]

setting it to false will do, what you want.
