User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0
Steps to reproduce:
OS: Windows 7, Browser: Firefox 102
- Open a page that contains a colon ":" symbol:
https://codelab.ga/d/test_title.html - Drag from address bar to desktop to create an .URL file.
Actual results:
a) FF created an invalid 0 byte file: "title before colon"
(no .URL extension and missing 2nd part of the title = filename got cropped at ":")
b) When space precedes colon - FF fails to create file at all..
c) While most other symbols are correctly replaced - some result in invalid filename error / or even crash explorer process..
Expected results:
FF should have sanitized filename and create a valid .URL file with title:
"title before colon text after colon.URL"

If testing results in a file that cannot be deleted normally in explorer/cmd - delete using Long UNC path in terminal should work:
DEL /A /F "\\?\FULL_PATH\filename"

- Firefox 101.0.1 = ok
- Firefox 102.0 = broken
- Also not affected by UAC / browser.launcherProcess.enabled state / OS arch..

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
<title>GitHub - rust-lang/rust: Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.</title>
This actually ends up creating a directory 1st - and .URL file inside it (Note the / slash handling):
GitHub - rust-lang\
rust Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software..URL
strangely ":" gets correctly stripped..

Until this is fixed - can use this workaround in console /bookmarklet:
document.title=document.title.replace(':', ' ').replace('/', ' ');
