No, I get something like %2520 instead of %20

/usr/bin/firefox: Bourne shell script text executable

$ cat /usr/bin/firefox
#!/bin/sh
#
# Stub script to run mozilla-launcher.  We used to use a symlink here
# but OOo brokenness makes it necessary to use a stub instead:
# http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78890

export MOZILLA_LAUNCHER=firefox
export MOZILLA_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=${MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH:-/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins}

exec /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher "$@"

$ file `which seamonkey`
/usr/bin/seamonkey: Bourne shell script text executable

$ cat /usr/bin/seamonkey
#!/bin/sh
#
# Stub script to run mozilla-launcher.  We used to use a symlink here
# but OOo brokenness makes it necessary to use a stub instead:
# http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78890

export MOZILLA_LAUNCHER=seamonkey
export MOZILLA_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/seamonkey
export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=${MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH:-/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins}

exec /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher "$@"

So, both firefox and seamonkey are using the same launcher
script /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher. It is the joined piece.

In firefox case, it launch /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin
I try to run

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin "/path to the/file With Space.html"

and it worked fine. So the bug must be in mozilla-launcher. I just find that
it is a mozilla-launcher ebuild and done a search on gentoo bugzilla. I find
this http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215110 with a patch from a gui that
have almost the same problem from konqueror. So I will try it.

Cheers,
Dominique
