It opens firefox as expected, but the url is ...
file:///home/ron/%22http://www.python.org%22
Since %22 is the URL-encoded double-quote character ("), I can only
imagine that something is quoting the URL for the shell, resulting in
the following command:
firefox '"http://www.python.org/";'
Or something similar, at least. Firefox 1.5 seems to refuse to open
such URLs, though.

Yes, thats it. I've traced it down the the subproccess.Popen call.
This works
>>> subprocess.Popen(['firefox', 'http://python.org'])
<subprocess.Popen object at 0xb7ddbeec>
This reproduces the problem I'm having.
>>> subprocess.Popen(['firefox', '"http://python.org";'])
<subprocess.Popen object at 0xb7ddbf4c>
The quoting does happen in the webbrowser module.
The cmdline is passed as...
['/usr/lib/firefox/firefox', '"http://python.org";']
I've traced it back to the following line where self.args is ['"%s"']
Line 187 in webbrowser.py:
cmdline = [self.name] + [arg.replace("%s", url)
for arg in self.args]
Now I just need to figure out why self.args is double quoted.
Cheers,
Ron
