UTF-8 support in Firefox 3 location bar
I don’t usually repost other blogs, but this is a big usability help for our non-Latin wikis… Firefox 3 is joining Safari and Opera 9 in displaying human-legible Unicode URLs in the location bar.
Woohoo!

This is more about Unicode in the document path, rather than IDN, which has to do with the website domain. Prior to Firefox 3, you had to install the Location² extension to get the same functionality.
