we need the .url file type

I find I can drag the site-id of a web page and drop it into nautilus
but: it drops a URL shortcut, thus
Code:
[InternetShortcut] 
URL=http://www.extremetech.com/computing/129299-silicon-nanotube-lithium-ion-battery-stores-10-times-more-power-lasts-6000-charges
we should subsequently be able to click on the shortcut and have Firefox re-open that page
