FF4 convert (ampersand)reg in a wrong way.

I mean when FF meet the sequence of symbols (ampersand)reg it always convert it to ® symbol, but it should be converted only if this sequence finished with ';', isn't it?

To check create this simple html file:

========

action=save&region_id=41
look&register
login&registration

========

i got text below instead of usual words every time:

========

action=save®ion_id=41 look®ister login®istration

Why don't you use &amp; to code the ampersand? 

action=save&amp;region_id=41
look&amp;register
login&amp;registration
