Although %F opens urls quite successfully on my system I note the
'optional' part from the same page:

"The Exec key must contain a command line. A command line consists of
an executable program optionally followed by one or more arguments."

I found that omission of both %F and %U made no difference on my
system and I have changed the patch to reflect this.
