Firefox not opening links unless it is already open

more options

On windows 10, with Firefox set as the default browser and not open, double click on a desktop link to an URL causes Firefox to open, but the URL is not loaded (a blank page is shown instead). Only in tha case that Firefox is already running, a new tab is opened and the URL loaded.

I found this problem already reported in the past (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1260240), but that is relative to an old version and the solution does not work for me.

Any idea?

Thanks
