I have a popup window with a Facebook custom share link. 

http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<url to share>&t=<title of content>

How can I use a url u with a parameter like http://google.com/?q=bla? It looks like facebook always cut of the parameter.

You should URL encode the parameters.

var facebook_url = 'http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?'+
  'u='+encodeURIComponent('http://google.com/?q=bla')+
  '&amp;t='+encodeURIComponent('Some Page Title');
