Currently I access a Taiwan Site with Chinese URL by Firefox Chinese 4.x version and it does not display correctly. After compare URL between 3.x and 4.x, the root issue is that 4.x convert Chinese Characters as UTF8.

By the way, Firefox 4.x English version is OK.

Could anyone help solve this issue ?

I've seen that issue reported before with the Chinese Firefox version, so that may be a bug with that version.

Possibly this bug:
