I can confirm this bug - it is a long standing issue over several Ubuntu releases. It is (in my opinion, as one migrating from windoze) a major impediment to useability of ubuntu for those people switching operating systems. It seems really daft that something as simple as clicking on existing internet shortcuts is not supported.
This should be given fairly high importance given that most migrators from windoze will inevitably have al least some, perhaps many, shortcuts they wish to use. -- Ubuntu does not open MS Windows internet shortcuts with 'url' extension https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
