<p>Same thing with Firefox as default browser. When I run it from the command line with the forward slashes in the path it doesn't realize it's a path and searches the web using the current search provider. With proper backslashes, it tries to open the file, but the <code>#</code> for the anchor name gets replaced with <code>%23</code> and so it can't find the file called <code>index.html%23editor-features-preferences</code>. With a proper URI (ie. with <code>file:///</code> and forward slashes) it opens fine from the command line.</p>
