The internet shortcut we clicked was created in MSEI (by the way, how to do that in Firefox? Right-click from website doesn't appear to offer "Save Shortcut"!) Here is contents of .url: [InternetShortcut] URL=http://www.radioparadise.com/ IDList= IconFile=http://www.radioparadise.com/favicon.ico IconIndex=1 [{000214A0-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}] Prop3=19,2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Navigate to favorite website, e.g., www.radioparadise.com, in MSIE 2.Right-click in non-sensitive page area 3.Select and click "Create Shortcut" -- creats .url on desktop 4.Navigate or minimize windows to view desktop 5.Double-click the new shortcut icon on desktop (Firefox IS your default browser, right? 6.Repeat in both XP and Vista (Home Premium here). Actual Results: Firefox has lame string in URL box: file:///N:/Music/Radio%20Paradise%20-%20eclectic%20online%20rock%20radio.url ... and page view is half-rendered Expected Results: Should open same web page as was viewing when "Create Shortcut" clicked. We have a .jpg showing everything in one view. May we attach or e-mail it?

wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007121403 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre and Windows Vista. Creating a shortcut from Seamonkey (drag&Drop the small icon [favicon] in front of the URL in the URL Bar to the desktop) and also opening such a link from IE created with the same method in IE works as expected for me but this bug could be Firefox only.

(In reply to comment #3) > Please read > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Windows_error_opening_Internet_shortcut_or_local_HTML_file_-_Firefox > We did apply the ddeexec edit in the Windows Registry (4 places) before reporting this bug.

Per comment #2, we tried from Firefox (Minefield) drag-and-drop icon before URL box to Vista desktop, then closed browser and double-clicked the desktop icon; got the same (broken, non-functional) view. Very repeatable here.

Pete: I tried to reproduce your issue using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008010405 Minefield/3.0b3pre. I tried both dragging the radioparadise icon in Firefox to the desktop and launching (worked), as well as creating a shortcut in IE with IE as my default browser (also worked, but I switched Firefox to my default browser on launch).
I, too, am experiencing this issue. The desktop shortcut attempts to open a file such as "file:///C:/Users/jholland/Desktop/Woot%20One%20Day,%20One%20Deal%20(SM).URL" rather than opening up "http://www.woot.com". If I change my default browser to IE (how painful!), it works fine. I have made the registry edit for ddeexec, but this made no difference. How frustrating- we rely on desktop shortcuts heavily! Any ideas?

This is still a problem with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5. The same build on XP has no issues. *This bug only affect shortcuts that are double-clicked, however.* If you drag the .url file onto the Fx window the page loads with the correct http address.
