Bug#741321: iceweasel: javascript bookmarklets fail with recent iceweasel

Package: iceweasel
Version: 24.3.0esr-1
Severity: normal

  Dear iceweasel maintainers,

  Starting with this version, all but the most simple javascript
bookmarklets fail miserably with unexpected syntax error messages
(even though they were woprking fine before).

  Digging a bit, it looks like, while iceweasel converts to
URL-encoded strings upon saving the bookmarklet, it does not decode
the string anymore, so 

javascript:{alert("stuff")};

works, but

javascript:{ alert("stuff")};

does not work anymore, because its is converted to 

javascript:{%20alert("stuff")};

and run like that (syntax error).

  I didn't find any report of this problem in upstream's bugzilla, but
didn't conduct an extensive search.

  Editing the .json bookmarks storage does not seem to do the joc.

  Best regards,

       Vincent
