how does the firefox encoding the url in the address bar

When I use the firefox,I found that it will encoding the Chinese characters in the address bar,which make it difficult for decode .

Exemaple:

In the js code,I have encoding the url:

location.href="http://xxx/query.html?type="+encodingURI('中文');

Then in the address bar,the firefox show me this:

http://xxx/query.html?type=中文

but,if I enter the "Enter" key in the address,which means reload this page,then the address will be changed to

http://xxx/query.html?type=%D6%D0%CE%C4

Then I can not decode the "=%D6%D0%CE%C4". Since it can not be decoded using 

decodeURI('%D6%D0%CE%C4');

In fact the encodeURI("中文")="%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87"

I wonder how does firefox do and how to decode the parameter?

Firefox doesn't behave that way for me. It's not encoding those characters in the URL when I hit enter.

By the way, the correct UTF-8 encoding of 中文 is %E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87. 

encodeURIComponent("中文");
"%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87"

decodeURIComponent("%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87");
"中文"

For example: http://google.com?q=中文.

It's using standard url encoding, you need to make sure you have the correct doctype to display those characters, otherwise you will get unsatisfactory results.
