Firefox URLs are not understood by eZ publish

From section on "Character Transformation":

"For example, if a visitor enters a URL like "http://www.example.no/Ostehøvel" in the address bar of a browser, it might be automatically converted to "http://www.example.no/Osteh%C3%B8vel". However, this won't prevent Exponential from serving the requested web page."

In my experience this is not correct. The URL "Kunnskapsbank/EØS" gives "Module Kunnskapsbank not found" after Mozilla turns it into "Kunnskapsbank/E%D8S", which eZ publish apparently cannot parse. I have just upgraded to 3.10.0 and have run the 
updateniceurls
script.

    Hi

    Tested here with Firefox, and this seems to work correctly, Kunnskapsbank/EØS is transformed into Kunnskapsbank/E%C3%98S in the address bar. Which char set is your website in? Make sure your website uses utf-8 ( search this in the html source: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> ) and your database as well.
