torbrowser CLI won't open URLs containing question marks

[tatertot]

This works: torbrowser https://www.google.com/

This just launches a new, blank page: torbrowser https://www.google.com/?

(Tested on qubes appvm based on an up-to-date whonix-ws-15.)

Inside /usr/bin/torbrowser, something is removing arguments containing questionmarks from eval.

fix opening URLs which contain question marks ("`?`")

Does anyone know why eval drops args containing questionmarks? Maybe some security feature on eval?

The issue doesn’t happen with eval from an interactive bash. And I can’t find any documentation about this wierd eval behavior.

I don’t know but good that eval could be dropped. Not needed anyhow.
