Hi,

I found that similar ticket has been recently closed https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/545827 So I'll ask again (I cannot see what the last ticket said about it)

When will Firefox allow IDN names in .eu sites? That causes lots of trouble in here (EU). Manual editing about:config is not an option for a company. I think you understand our (Europeans) problem.

Br, Martin

Hi.

Mozilla only accepts official requests from representatives of the domain registry owning the relevent TLD for IDN whitelisting.

See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/tld-idn-policy-list.html and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534212#c1

Thank You,

This only shows how things are handled in EU. Total rubbish.

You can create a white-list pref (network.IDN.whitelist.eu) for sites that you want to display as a TLD and not as puny code.

Since the page is belonging to a company, manual editing FF is not an option. I cannot put the tutorial on the first page and say: "hey clients, EU is incompetent for making a policy for Mozilla. Please edit Your Firefox yourself".

This is not just my problem, all countries in EU are struggling with it. Hope you see my dilemma here.
