249451 - Shortcuts to Website

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246078

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joe Strub]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

I have created shortcuts to websites that sit on my Quick Launch toolbar. One,
for example, is to BBS and has the following in the URL box:
http://bbs.rblevin.net:8080/~rblevin

When I click on the shortcut I get a message that Windows cannot find the
specified location. Despite the error message, after I click OK, the website
opens. How should I create/code the URL in the shortcut to avoid this error
message.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on shortcut to a website
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Error message appears that Windows cannot find site and that perhaps I keyed it
in wrong. Then the website opens after I click OK to the error message. 

Expected Results:  
Open website without error message
