I wonder why Firefox is sending this in EUC-JP?

I was about to, then I tried my quicksearch again, and it sent it
correctly in UTF-8!

Thanks for all the insight, Jim.

TLUGian Firefox hackers, do you have any idea how to control this
behaviour? I looked through about:config for "utf", and found:

network.standard-url.encode-utf8
network.standard-url.escape-utf8
prefs.converted-to-utf8

It seemed that changing network.standard-url.encode-utf8 to true did
not fix my problem, though it makes sense that it would.
