Incorrect characters are being substituted into my URL?

Hi All,
I have had really good success with setting up one computer, using an Ethernet connection, so that Porteus Kiosk loads only one specific web page (in Firefox).
However I am now trying to setup a second computer using a Wi-Fi connection and I am running into a strange challenge. The Porteus Kiosk installation goes fine, however when the computer loads and presents Firefox it shows the message 'Access Denied'. I have installed Porteus Kiosk twice on this computer and in each instance the same behaviour is presented...
During setup I enter the following URL into both the Home Page, and White List sections -
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm= ... 1GGw%3d%3d
However when Porteus Kiosk loads, and presents Firefox it shows the following URL in the address bar!
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=m4XP7PRbwDnC6oRmia1GGw%3d%3d
It looks like r/ is replacing s.aspx in the URL but as I mentioned earlier this only appears to be happening when I try to use the Wi-Fi configuration.
If anybody has any suggestions on how remedy this issue can you please share?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
