Accent incorrectly displayed in ISO-8859-1 on Firefox with window.open

In our application encoded in ISO-8859-1, I have javascript code that opens a window with the window.open command to display values with accents.

These accented values are not displayed correctly (for é I get é). They are passed as a parameter in the URL of the window.

http://<SERVER>:<PORT>/<TOMCAT-CAR>/pages/script.jsp?prenom=Prénom

This problem only occurs on Firefox (under IE and Chrome the character is displayed correctly).

Do you know why there is this difference?

Before passing the string, encode it first using encodeURI(), and when you fetch the result decode it before using it using decodeURI().
