According to [1], Mozilla and Firefox will switch off IDN (and,
hence, IRI) support for the time being in order to avoid
"payp[lowercase russian a]l.com" like Phishing attacks.

The best approach to fixing this is probably to take a look at the
ICANN IDN registration guidelines and get these fixed.
