Does anyone know why the ~ (tilde) in a URL often shows up in
the URL box in Mozilla as %7E   ??


0x7E or 126 in decimal is the ASCII code of tilde symbol. In urls a few special
characters (most notably the space within a filename) get automatically
converted,  but you can also represent the entire url in encoded form:
