Cannot link to RTC items from MS Excel

I am trying to setup hyperlinks in my MS Excel spreadsheet and they launch but after login to RTC seems they forget their original URL and I get the following error.
Invalid path to authentication servlet.: /
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.  The only reference I saw to a similar problem points at some document that no longer exists.  Thanks.

I cannot see any special treatments needed for this. It works for me on first go. I'm using Excel 15.27 (part of Office 365) and Firefox ESR 45.5, on a Mac.

Both forms of link work for me. That is

Maybe you can do some debugging in your browser, as suggested in this old post?

The document that you mentioned should be this one.
