When I copy and paste a URL from Firefox it is currently encoding parentheses instead of just copying said parentheses.

For example, when I copy the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_(band)

it pastes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_%28band%29

Hello,

both the links are connected to the same page. So, you dont need to worry about it. It's fine.

Except there are other programs than Firefox that use URL's. The question isn't about the use of the link it's about using the encoding that Firefox previously used.

If you do the copy from the location/address bar then you can avoid this by adding a character before the http to avoid Firefox from seeing it as a link.
