Firefox 153 creates links with false permissions

Hello,

URLs dragged from the Firefox 153 address bar to the desktop are assigned incorrect permissions (marked as "not from this computer").
Attempting to launch such a URL triggers a security warning.

Firefox 150 did not have this issue. I haven't tested the intermediate versions.

I recorded a video demonstrating this:
https://youtu.be/vAMSsgvp6rg

Please excuse the typo in the video's info box; it refers to version 153.0.1, not 150.0.1, though you'll see that for yourselves. Unfortunately, I don't know the proper way to report a bug. Perhaps one of you could handle that?
Regards,
Andreas

Firefox 150: URL auf Desktop ablegen. Die URL lässt sich mit FF problemlos starten Firefox 153.0.1: URL auf Desktop ablegen. Die URL wird als Sicherheitsproblem angelegt. Edge, Chrome, Brave haben dieses Problem nicht

This looks like a Firefox 153 regression causing dragged URLs to receive incorrect security permissions. Since Firefox 150 worked correctly, testing different versions and the Firefox distribution channel may help isolate the change. Hopefully, Mozilla can fix this permission-handling issue in a future update.

Firefox 153.0.3
Fixed Internet shortcuts dragged from Firefox to the desktop being marked as untrusted on Windows, which caused a security warning every time they were opened. (Bug 2056865)
