my version of /usr/X11/bin/firefox right now is attached.  But I'm not
sure 100%. seems that firefox have config to alter the behavior of
OpenURL(<url>).

In any way I'll prefer:
- drop ${FILESDIR}/patch-browser_app_mozilla.in (patch is not needed)
- install firefox[-config] under ${PREFIX}/lib/firefox
- install a brand new ${FILESDIR}/firefox.sh as ${PREFIX}/bin/firefox

www/mozex-firefox doesn't work (It doesn't use the new extension
interface).

If no plans to go directly with libgnome, I'll work on external
 handlers or a new version of www/mozex-firefox.
