Hello, On firefox 121, I'm able to launch URIs with arguments just fine. However on firefox 122, this isn't the case, and it does not understand the URI at all. Same URI btw.

First of all, I have no way to provide details. My ex-wife, who is definitely not good on a computer, orders groceries online from Harris Teeter regularly. Today she was having trouble entering an order and called Harris Teeter support. They told her that their web site is now having problems with Firefox and talked her through switching to Chrome. I got the impression the problem had something to do with seeing images of the food items. Wish I could provide more info than that.

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

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

Why don't they have it false by default?
