Parenthesis in URL leads to javascript errors in Firefox

[hiroprotagonist]

If using URLs containing parenthesis in Mozilla Firefox, there is a problem with the location.hash.
The handling of URLs with parenthesis for example when hitting the back or forward button leads to Syntax Errors in Firefox JavaScript Engine: uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: data-url='...(...'
The Exception is thrown by Sizzle.

This error is thrown at serveral positions in jQuery Mobile code, for example:
to = $( ":jqmData(url='" + url + "')" ); "jquery.mobile.navigation.js"

Why

Parenthesis are must not be url encoded so ff wont do it in opposite to webkit browsers

Reproduce

Use Parenthesis in Forward URL. Click Backbutton in FF(all version).
