Before Firefox 53, the
pathname property returned wrong parts of the URL. For example, for a URL of http://z.com/x?a=true&b=false,
pathname would return "/x?a=true&b=false" rather than "/x".

Internet Explorer does not provide the leading slash character in the
pathname (
docs/Web/API/Location instead of
/docs/Web/API/Location ).
