I solved this myself, forgot to put the solution here, the following removes /' and replaces it with nothing so urls work in all browsers.

if ($uri ~ "^(.*)/'(.*)$"){
set $rule_0 1$rule_0;
set $bref_1 $1;
set $bref_2 $2;
}
if ($rule_0 = "1"){
rewrite /. /$bref_1$bref_2 permanent;
break;
}


Maybe this will help someone too.
