Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Tools --> Add-Ons 2. Search for something with a space eg Web Developer 3. Click the 'See all results' link 4. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web%2520Developer opens but it needs to be blah/search?q=Web+Developer Actual Results: Wrong url opens. Expected Results: Either opened https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=Web+Developer or the website allow for the url to be encoded.
