Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
This problem is caused by having the Internet Shortcut (.url) file type associated with "Firefox" instead of "Internet Browser". It was noted when Firefox 56 was first released about a month ago because on some systems, the association got switched (for unclear reasons). You just need to change it back.

I'm attaching a screenshot from Windows 7, which is the best I can do for comparison.
