This works, although I didn't try if it works without.

Yeah. That's been broken for a couple of years. Ever t-bird update I do (I'm still on 5.x at home, pending my rebuild of my hardware...), I did manage to get it to open http, but not https - I'll have to try Johnny's fix on that, but I have to edit openbrowser.sh, because it seems to be if you're not running gnome, it doesn't work at all. I have to add for it to just run the browser after it checks for no URL specified to tell it to exec firefox "$URL"; exit;

mark, annoyed, and not running gnome
