Was there a change to how Firefox handles "&" in urls when launched from the command line?

I launch Firefox from my IDE and pass in a URL which includes '&'. With the latest version of Firefox (16.0.2), the url gets cut off after the first '&'. I tried this on the command line and it appears to do the same thing. Here is an example:

firefox -url https://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&q=mozilla+download&revid=1994747429&sa=X&ei=mjiRUNuBBIfk9ASgkYCgCA&ved=0CKQBENUCKAA&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=5d3c49828a5b5890&bpcl=36601534&biw=1255&bih=874

If I enclose the url in quotes it works. Was this an intended change?

That is not Firefox issue, but an "&" is one of the reserved, special, characters in Windows and need to be escaped with a "^" or enclosed in quotes.
