Additional information

Same URI on Edge is working fine on the same system.
I did see some files to be created, but pathnames got mangled (child folder names concatenated to parent folder names and then creating these new folders, seems to loose SOME(!) %2F’s here).
I also simplyfied the vault name to remove spaces %20’s, but no difference. I noted that Firefox seems to replace %20’s with actual Spaces in the addressbar, which Edge doesn’t.
Tried browser in private mode, also.

Hi, and thanks for checking … I tried around, and found some strange behavior. Worked once only.

After researching a bit, I set these configs in FF manually, and seems to work for me know.

In Firefox about:config set these to true:
network.protocol-handler.expose.obsidian
network.protocol-handler.external.obsidian
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.obsidian

They were unset before in my profile.
