URL's containing "=" do not open in web browser

[NZFlyingKiwi]

URL's that contain the "=" character do not open in the default web browser, rather they open the file explorer, as if they where a local link.

Sample URL:
"https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us?app=drivers"

Hm, I cannot reproduce this with version 2.9.2. What version and platform are you using?

Version 2.9.2 (2023-04-13) Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 19044.2606 If I remove the = it works. I will try with my home system, if I have the time I may try compiling a debugging. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Strange. I have (besides Linux) the same setup and it works. Though I have as application to open external links (in Settings menu):

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Same setting for you or something different?

[NZFlyingKiwi]

I did not specify a browser so it uses the default which is edge, other links work fine. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Can you change that in settings to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe and see if that helps? Default should be "explorer", I think.

Will let you know, thanks. Sent from Proton Mail for iOS

Hi, Installed on my home system and same result. Interestingly "www.google.co.nz" will also open in explorer.exe, ie missing the "https:/" Changed to the explicit path and it worked as expected. Regards, Andrew. Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Also on Windows 10 I have set the app to open external links in Settings to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"

and both your links open in MS edge as expected. I am going to change the default in vym from explorer to edge, then.
