Hi!

When I try to open a link from Thunderbird in Firefox, everything that comes after an & is discarded.
I have both Thunderbird and Firefox sandboxed which may be the reason why.

Can you please look into it?

I have a similar issue which only started showing up recently. I have icedove in one jail, and firefox-esr in another. Any URL with the & character in it becomes & (has a leading backslash) which causes most URLs to fail.

However if I right-click on the URL and copy it, and then Paste and Go into the firefox-esr URL bar, there is no problem.

Running the 0.9.38-1 package from Debian testing.
