So, what we've come upon is a weird but intriguing
difference in the ways Firefox and Internet Explorer handle
the same URL.

That's curious. I use Firefox almost exclusively myself. (The URL was actually originally copied into my original message from the address bar of that very program.)

I tried unwrapping the URL in my original post and copying it back to the address bar of Firefox, just to see if there was some problem with it, but couldn't reproduce your problem.

The page is again in, apparently, Finnish, but it's still
advertising products of the same "Valio" enterprise.

Fanny is a berry-flavored, sweet curd product. Eating Fanny is something the kids love, but all in the family can enjoy a Fanny from time to time.

It's low in fat, too.
