If you set 'netword.standard-url.encode-utf8' to true in about:config It 
should work fine.

It's now the standard (being an RFC in the standard track). See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3987.html  You can either %-encode URL or 
just use raw UTF-8 (with only URL-unsafe characters %-encoded)

The server at http://docs.hp.com/ko/allproducts.html understands 
%-encoded UTF-8 (IRI) but does not understand %-encoded EUC-KR (the 
document encoding).
