App Store links on Mac?

Anyone else having problems with the App Store from the web? It appears that the links changed perhaps with the new store. The symptom is that in clicking the link, iTunes tries to launch and then it and the browser switch back and forth until I manage to stop one of them. There's a new ls parameter in the links that seems related to this. Here are links from view in App Store on iTunes Connect:

Same problem on both Safari and Chrome.
