I wouldn't say we break FireFox by recommending this ("breaking" means that C-D doesn't work at all, or produces garbage), and I wouldn't say they've been doing the right thing (because they implemented to prefer the non-internationalised filename).
Also, based on their bug traffic, they unfortunately don't seem too eager to fix this.
When you say "no advice" what do you mean?
