Hi,

I am running MacOSX 10.12.6 and using Safari (12.0.1) as my main web browser.  
I always keep a Finder window open (in column view).

If I want to save a link to the current web page, I often drag the URL to my 
desktop.  In some cases, I later drag the URL icon from the desktop to a folder 
in the Finder.  Until recently, I could double-click on the URL, either in the 
Finder or on the desktop, and the appropriate web page would open.  Lately, 
this works fine from the desktop, but not from the Finder -- the Finder window 
disappears as if the Finder crashed as soon as I single-click on the URL.  The 
Finder window then opens again, but not the web page.  This started a month or 
two ago and happens consistently, on four different Macs.

Is this a well-known problem?  If not, has anyone else experienced it or heard 
of it?  Does anyone know of a solution?

Since it happens on multiple Macs, it seems unlikely to be a hardware issue.  
I'm wondering if some recent update to Safari or MacOSX introduced this.  Any 
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gregg
