Forkle opens the desired page, but the address field is empty. That looks a bit strange.
After clicking at a link, the address field then shows the corresponding address, though.
BTW: The height of the address filed is pretty small (compared e.g. with Firefox or Chrome), so its content is not easy to read, at least for older people like me. IMHO this is also a security problem, when I can't reliably read the address of the current page. So maybe you can increase the height of the address field in Forkle and use a bigger font size?

I remember fixing such an issue a while ago. Please could you try with the latest build (0.65.0.393)?

Oops, I wasn't aware of the new version 0.65.0.393.
I did more tests with this one, and also with the older version 0.64.0.327.
The results are equal with both versions here:
The content of the address field sometimes is shown with a delay. I.e. the content of the respective page is already shown, but the content of the address field is not yet shown, sometimes for a rather long time. So it happened that I clicked at a link on the page, and then saw the new page, without ever having seen the address that I passed as parameter.
//edit:
It seems that resizing the window with the mouse triggers displaying of the url in the address field.

I've tried to address both issues in 0.65.0.415. I can't reproduce the first one though, so it's a bit of a shot in the dark. Could you give the new build a try? Is the address bar font more readable? (I plan to completely redesign the address bar at some later time anyway)

Yes, the address bar font of version 0.65.0.415 is better readable, thank you!
The other issue is still there: A URL passed as command line parameter often is not visible in the address bar, until I'm resizing the Forkle window with the mouse.
