The problem is that the url in your example is
"http://translate.google.com/#en";, it ends at the |, which cannot be part
of the URL.

Sounds like the well-known firefox bug that corrupts URLs. This is a known
bug in firefox and is supposed to be fixed in some future version.

The problem is that adding all these URL-delimueters as valid characters will
make it harder to select valid urls - it's easier to extend then to shorten,
so I guess we should be more strict rather than less.

Note that you can provide your own url if you feel the need to work around
firefox bugs (or similar bugs in other programs).
