On Mozilla Firefox after reenabling the separation into URL and searchbar it reports: "Invalid URL – Hmm. That address doesn’t look right. \n Please check that the URL is correct and try again." What does the '%' mean in there?

For link-local addresses, the part after % identifies the link. It's platform-specific - in Linux it's the interface name and in Windows it's an ID number.
