I just encountered this issue when posting base64 data to a website. Attached 
is a patch that should temporarily resolve the issue. All it does is url encode 
the '+' into '%2b' right after the post data is stripped of newlines. I was 
looking into what causes this issue and it seems more related to the global 
Firefox loadURI() function or the nsIMIMEInputStream setData() method, than to 
the HackBar. This at least solves the issue for now until a better solution is 
created.

The regular expression is overkill for replacing the '+', sorry. Patch has been 
modified.

Hi Josiah,

sorry for the late reply... I'm currently without internet connection so no to 
much time to check and update the addon but I'll do my best as soon as I get my 
broadband connection sorted at home ;)

Thanks!

Well it appears regex was the way to go because I didn't notice that replace 
only replaced the first occurrence. Patch has been modified again using a 
gloabl regex.

Patched applied and functionality is working. It'll be included in the next 
release.

I did a workaround myself, and added this after line 195 in main.js

postString = postString.replace( new RegExp(/\+/g), " " );

This way, when you load a URL with post parameters using + as spaces, you don't 
send them back as %2b.
