Don't know about the ?e unless some character translation in your  
browser client.  This Page not found error can happen for reasons  
beyond Drupal's control such as a malformed settings.php file or a  
contrib module.

What version of Drupal?

Firstly, clear the cache and sessions tables as well as the browser  
cookies.  You may want to even try with a different browser brand.

Secondly, you might want to deactivate the optional contrib modules.   
You may even need to Uninstall them.  Backup your DB first.  If  
deactivating a module resolves the issue then open an issue for the  
module at http://drupal.org/project/issues.  Else it is time for more  
debugging.
