As noted in the report by pabs, there is a published workaround:

The workaround seems to disable IDN *during the current browser session only*.  

Exiting, then re-launching the browser still exhibits IDN *even though
the preference is set to false*.

This is true irrespective of whether the browser cache is cleared, one
does a shift-refresh of the page, or the preference is set by hand in
the user.js file. Basically, the preference seems to have no effect
once the browser is relaunched.
