I can embed content from my app to GoodData dashboard using "Web content". Dashboard macros are a way how to have the content customized depending on the dashboards it appears in - some reference: http://developer.gooddata.com/article/how-to-use-dashboard-macros

I'm trying to embed content on a link like this:
http://myserver.com/apps/my_app#%CURRENT_DASHBOARD_URI%/%CURRENT_DASHBOARD_TAB_URI%
It works fine in Chrome, but it does weird things in Firefox. Seems like I'm the macros don't work - the %CURRENT_DASHBOARD_URI% isn't being replaced with a tring like %2Fgdc%2Fmd%2FGoodSalesDemo%2Fobj%2F1952 as suggested in the docs
In fact macros work in Firefox, the issue is just the way Firefox works with decoding URLs. Chrome doesn't decode the string dashboard URI for you and therefore you get:
http://myserver.com/apps/my_app#%2Fgdc%2Fmd%2FGoodSalesDemo%2Fobj%2F1952/85f6945b672d
Firefox does the decoding for you and you get
http://myserver.com/apps/my_app#/gdc/md/GoodSalesDemo/obj/1952/85f6945b672d
Therefore slash isn't a good character to separate %CURRENT_DASHBOARD_URI% and %CURRENT_DASHBOARD_TAB_URI% in your app.
Also when parsing the parameters out of the URL, you have to make sure that it's decoded - e.g. the decodeURIComponent function in JavaScript. decoding won't hurt the already decoded string in Firefox and will decode the string in Chrome.
