When I try to open in Outlook an html attachment, then firefox is not able to deal with the temporary path (becuase of the ö) and an error panel pops up (I will attach a screenshot of the panel).

Actual Results: An error panel pops up and shows the problematic path. Expected Results: Open the attachment
