 Hmm, can you see what happens by specifying a script which contains
 the following in the browser command field and clicking a URL, and
 then invoking firefox at command line prompt with the arguments and
 the environment variables found in /tmp/env.log?

 #!/bin/sh
 (echo "$@"; env ) > /tmp/env.log

 I think by doing it we can see whether browser invocation works or
 not.
