If I create a desktop item which is a link to a URL with a port number,
opening the desktop item fails. I can create the desktop item by
dragging and dropping the URL from my web browser, firefox.
The desktop item, when I attempt to open it, brings up a message box
with the title "Cancel Open?", a lightbulb icon, a message "Opening
'myURL:myPort'. You can stop this operation by clicking cancel.", and a
single Cancel button.
If I type directly into a terminal "firefox http://myURL:myPort/";,
firefox will correctly open that web page ( firefox is my preferred web
browser ). So this is not a firefox problem but a Gnome desktop link
problem evidently. Other URLs without a port number open correctly from
a desktop link.
Is there a way to fix this ? It probably has something to do with
interpreting the URL as a Mime type for Gnome, but I do not know how I
can correct the behavior so that URLs with port numbers are correctly
passed to my preferred web browser, firefox.
