  Curiouser and curiouser.  If I copy-and-paste the URL to a text
editor, confirm the ampersand, then C&P back to Firefox, it works
properly.  If I manually type an ampersand as a Wikipedia URL, I get
the appropriate redirect.  So Firefox does the right thing for me.
Maybe it's the interaction between FF and TB?

  If you want to do more testing, the URL was:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Search_&_Transfer

  If you don't want to do more testing, that's okay, too.  =-)
