[opensuse] xdg-open inserting backslashes

I've got a problem opening some URLs using xdg-open on Leap 42.1. LXDE desktop. If I use xdg-open to try to open for example: xdg-open http://www.example.com/search.cgi?fred=wilma&barney=betty Then xdg-open rewrites the URL and asks firefox to open instead: http://www.example.com/search.cgi?fred=wilma\\&barney=betty and that fails (for my real URL). I know nada about xdg-open. Can anybody suggest why it is doing this and/or how to get it to open the URL I give it without mangling it?
