Re: Firefox vrs IE character encoding problem
%BD, %BE and %BF are urlencoded characters for ½, ¾, and ¿ respectively, which have no business being in a filename. These kinds of things usually occur when a document or file is taken from a Mac and then copied to a PC, because the character translation tables sometimes differ on the systems depending on the font, and what might be a hidden character on a Mac becomes a visible one on the PC.
The most probably reason why it works in IE but not in Firefox is that IE tends to ignore things it doesn't understand, while Firefox wants to let you know it's broken so you'll fix it.
