Up n' til a last week or so, Mozilla's DOM layer overrode the JS 
engine's escape() and unescape() functions, and that caused problems, so 
this was changed and now Mozilla should behave exactly as IE does wrt 
escape() and unescape(). Could you test a nightly build from this week 
and report back if there's still a problem?
