Youtube URL getting truncated when I run firefox from terminal

I'm running the following command on my terminal:

firefox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbvhGcf6UJU&feature=youtu.be&t=06m56s

However, when I run that, the time frame part gets truncated and firefox opens at this link: firefox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbvhGcf6UJU

This seems to happen for all videos that contain a time frame. Also this is the message that my terminal gives me:

g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
1429336854750   addons.xpi  WARN    Exception running bootstrap method shutdown on [email protected]: ReferenceError: sss is not defined (resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm -> file:///usr/share/mozilla/extensions/%7Bec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384%7D/[email protected]/bootstrap.js:72:4) JS Stack trace: shutdown@resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm -> file:///usr/share/mozilla/extensions/%7Bec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384%7D/[email protected]:72:5 < [email protected]:4305:9 < [email protected]:1991:13

How do I make firefox open in the timeframe that is specified in the URL? Any leads appreciated.

I will eventually have to run this using python3, in a os.system call.

EDIT: I just checked this with google-chrome as well, and chrome seems to truncate the url as well.

You have special characters in your url. You have to quote or escape them.

Try this:

firefox 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbvhGcf6UJU&feature=youtu.be&t=06m56s'
