User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:122.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/122.0

Steps to reproduce:

When using a custom protocol, a link with json structure is not recognized anymore:
<a href="vscode://{'cmd':'openFile'}">link not ok</a>

However, a workaround to get this to work again is using a slash like this:
<a href="vscode:///{'cmd':'openFile'}">link workaround</a>

I am using vscode protocol here just as an example:
See https://jsfiddle.net/aLvg0dn3/2/

Actual results:

The link is not clickable (does not appear in the left lower corner as link).

Expected results:

Link should be clickable as usual. In chrome, the link still works.

The correct way to represent such URLs is:
<a href="vscode:{'cmd':'openFile'}">link ok</a>

This will get fixed by bug 1877753 in the next Firefox dot release next week.
