Example of a URL Link that fails to open

Noticed that Nautilus is unable to open certain URL links created from Firefox by drag and drop. Example of the error received when trying to open one of these links:

Could not display "https://play.google.com/stor...5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0".

The file is of an unknown type


I am attaching one of these URL link files that fail to open.

This is on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

Confirming with git master.

This seems to be fixed by the time of Files 3.26 on Ubuntu 17.10.

Thanks for testing. I can also confirm the .desktop Link file successfully opens the URL in my default Web browser. Closing.
