New question #78436 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78436

I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and Fire Fox 3.0.12.

I'm unable to launch links on my desktop to URLs containing a query string.

If I drag an address from FF to my desktop, it creates a link icon [good].

When I double click the icon, it launches FF [good].

However, the address loaded into FF is missing the query string (everything after the '?') [bad].  So, I don't get the correct page [bad].  What should happen is that FF launches with the full URL so I get the correct page.

When I view the link properties of the icon, I see the full URL including the query string [good].
