You can reproduce the two different results if you call your browser with or
without the quotes `"' surrounding your query expression, which are translated
to `%%22' at the beginning and end of the string sent to the browser.

So I think you call emacs/w3m with and firefox without them.

I'll learn to play the Saxophone,
I play just what I feel.
Drink Scotch whisky all night long,
And die behind the wheel.
They got a name for the winners in the world,
I want a name when I lose.
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide,
Call me Deacon Blues.
