Hi, I have a link in my website that opens a file in another desktop program. The link looks like this: openwith://C:/path/to/file, but after update to the latest Firefox version (v122.0) the second colon from the link is for some reason removed, resulting in a path like this: openwith://C/path/to/file. This is a problem because the path it now tries to open doesn't exist. Is this a deliberate feature in the new Firefox version or is it a bug? If it is a bug will it be fixed? It still works fine in v121.0.

Solution choisie

Links with the format openwith://url need to be changed to openwith:url without the two forward slashes ("//") and Chrome will soon be the same (Bug 1876729).

You can revert this by changing network.url.useDefaultURI to false in about:config then restart the browser.

From the release notes:

The fallback URL parser for unknown schemes was changed to DefaultURI, this improves specification adherence and web compatibility.
