1777585 - Some Internet Shortcuts created on Desktop not working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1774683

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[OpusBloom]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0

Steps to reproduce:

I create an Internet Shortcut on Desktop, by clicking the padlock icon in the address bar and dragging to the Desktop.

Actual results:

For some websites the result is an empty file, instead of a working internet shortcut.
Below are two such websites as examples:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35723106/
https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Mess-Benefits-Cluttered-Fly/dp/0316114758/
The commonality I have found is that all the problematic websites have a colon (:) in the title of the website. That is, a colon (:) somewhere between the tags <title> and </title>. For example, there is a colon after "Vaccination" in the title of the 1st link above, as pasted below.

<title>Risk of Alzheimer's Disease Following Influenza Vaccination: A Claims-Based Cohort Study Using Propensity Score Matching - PubMed</title>

However, some websites with a colon do successfully create Internet Shortcuts.
So having a colon appears to be a necessary condition for the bug, but not a sufficient condition.

I am currently using Firefox version 102.0.
I have verified this bug occurs in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
I have verified this bug occurs in a newly created Firefox profile.
I have verified this bug occurs when I start Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode.
I have verified that Google Chrome can create Internet Shortcuts for these websites, so it not an inherent problem with the websites themselves.

Expected results:

An Internet Shortcut should have been created on Desktop.
