Bug description:
Ubuntu will not open standard internet shortcuts created in Microsoft
Windows. This makes interoperability very poor, and will prevent many
people from migrating to Ubuntu.
Copy any 'filename.url' from a Microsoft Windows machine, or create a
file with the following contents:
[DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://www.ubuntu.com
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.ubuntu.com
and name it 'ubuntu.url'.
Double click in Nautilus to launch. Nothing happens. It should
launch in the same manner as a 'desktop' internet shortcut.
Note: a workaround has been developed -
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3281092. This should be
provided by default Ubuntu installation.
