When I click on a button it is passing an apostrophe in the URL and redirecting to another page but got "Oops! We are sorry, there was integrity check error with your request. Please contact support" error in the Firefox browser. And the same URL is working in IE and Chrome browsers. Can you please help me on this issue.

I think that message is from the site, perhaps a polite way of saying that SQL injection attacks are not welcome there.

Can you see whether Firefox is encoding or failing to encode the apostrophe differently than the other browsers?

Hi, thanks for the reply. Firefox may converting the apostrophe in the URL into different characters and send that information to the other page but not sure.

Firefox Encoding is set to Unicode (UTI-8). How can I see the failing to encode the apostrophe differently than the other browsers?

All browsers are passing ' instead of apostrophe (') in the URL. So I have added the below code in the JavaScript and it is working in IE and Chrome but not in Firefox. Please let me know your suggestions.

myredirect.replace(/'/g,"'");

Sample URL: https://XXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/?first=abhina'v&middle=&last=kumar1&street=abhiXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks, Ramesh.

Unfortunately, the % encoding doesn't show correctly on this site.

Does the site work normally with Firefox when there is not an apostrophe in the query? If so... Perhaps this question could better be answered on the unofficial mozillaZine Web Development board. It's a separate site with separate registration. bbcode is supported.
