IIRC, Firefox displays non-latic characters only for a small set of whitelisted TLDs. For .com, .org etc., any non-latin domains are shown as their punycode equivalents (which look like random garbage). So if you copy paste >>раyраl.com<< (which is in Cyrillic), it will be shown as xn--yl-6kcb1fc.com. [1] http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html -- Saikat
