Clicking on a .url file generates an error message popup, yet the file often opens in the browser anyway. Returning to 0.8 fixed the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Drag webseite icon to desktop 2. Click on .url Internet Shortcut 3. [error] Expected Results: No warning message.
Update: Having BOTH Firefox 0.8 and Firefox 0.9.1 installed on the same computer fixes the problem.
