Can't edit Files containing special characters in it's Filename from Sharepoint 2013 with Internet Explorer

We have problems with Sharepoint 2013 in combination with excelfiles that have special characters in it's Filename.
SInce last week after installing a update (KB2920730) all files containing a special character in it's filename can't be edited when opening with Internet Explorer!
Crazy Thing is, when I do the same thing with Firefox I can edit the file without Problems? Any Suggetions?

Change your browser from Internet Explorer to Chrome or Firefox is your only option as it is the intended move of Microsoft to stop supporting Internet Explorer in exchange of getting better compatibility of their online services with the browsers used by major users.

Are you using Office Web Apps  or do just click on the file to open the file in the local client software?

We use both, web Apps and opening in Excel on the client. Opening and editing in Web Apps works without problems!
Opening in Excel works also but activating the file for editing/writing results in the error message

Is it a must that you can only use Internet Explorrer as your browser?
