Also, check your about:config and filter by IDN, you should see a lot of settings there. Any of them not set to default? Especially check this one: network.enableIDN by default it is set to True. What other Firefox addons do you have that might be parsing URLs before you visit them? Any? Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Firefox 3.0.6

  network.enableIDN;false (user set)

Addons that can modify urls:

  NoScript, AdBlock Plus

I guess it's probably NoScript that disabled IDN (internationalized domain names). I don't remember doing it manually.
