I would be rather surprised if that were true, given that Firefox
doesn't do it and I've never come across a website which broke for that
reason. But maybe I live a sheltered life.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64488 has quite a few
examples of people finding broken websites caused by backslashes. (But
maybe some/most of those examples have been fixed after being told
that they were wrong and that Firefox's behaviour wasn't going to
change?)
