Nautilus unable to open certain URL links

[Avi Schwartz]

Noticed that Nautilus is unable to open certian URL links created from Firefox. Example of the error received when trying to open one of these links:

Could not display "https://play.google.com/stor...5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEudGV0aGVyIl0".

The file is of an unknown type

I am attaching one of these URL link files that fail to open.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I clicked the link in the upstream bug and this now works fine! :)
