URLs containing an ampersand are not formatted correctly. The ampersand is pasted in encoded form (&) into the address bar, thus not opening the correct page. | |

It just doesn't work. I created the simplest of .url files and when launching the url from the command line: google-chrome mytest.url It just launches a new tab in chrome and asks where to save the file. Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit) | |
