If I click a link like https://example.com/hi:1 from an outside source, test it in the notes app; it goes to the line number in view-source:https://example.com/hi

This started happening relatively recently ~ 1 month or so. I've been getting around it by copy pasting into the url bar. This is not preferred and I'm wondering if there is a specific setting in about:config to turn this off; or if it's truly a bug?

I'm on macOS venture 13.1. Latest nightly version.

Thanks so much!

I can't reproduce this on Ubuntu, so maybe macOS-specific or something else on your system interfering.
