When I download a file with a ".url" extension, the browser adds ".url.download", however when I select the URL of a website and drag it to the desktop, a ".url" file is generated without any additions.

Hola Gerardo, gracias por responder.

He creado un ejemplo para que puedas ver de que hablo: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nhnfd0h56xf6ttctxa8yg/Pregunta.url?rlkey=hej29fk8ud2ratn5cpvoxuhzl&dl=0

Arriba a la izquierda tienes el botón para descargar. Si lo descargas con Firefox veras que se descarga "Pregunta.url.download" y si lo descargas con otros navegadores se descarga "Pregunta.url".
