Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a local folder called "testé" (or whose name contains é, è, ñ, etc.) 2. In this folder place a file called "targeté.jpg" (or whose name contains é, è, ñ, etc.) 3. Create in the same folder an html file that contains reference to the previous file, for instance a file that is simply <img src="targeté.jpg">, and try to open this file in Firefox Actual Results: The file "targeté.jpg" will not be found by firefox. Expected Results: The file "targeté.jpg" should be have been found and open by Firefox. The file type does not matter. For instance there is the same issue when the target file is an html frame file referred to by a <frame> tag. If either the path from the "main" html file OR the path and filename from the target file does not contain any special character (such as é è ç ñ), there is no issue. This is a regression since THIS BUG DID NOT EXIST IN FIREFOX 1.5.x. It does not exist in Internet Explorer. This bug IS NOT a duplicate from 263570 which was another issue that had been solved in previous Firefox releases.
