Title:
Firefox's awesomebar and context menus don't work when a webpage is
opened from a lens

Bug description:
When a result in a lens is a webpage which opens using Firefox, the
webpage will open in a new tab in Firefox, but Firefox's context menu
will stop working corectly (it will open once, but only once)
Furthermore, the location bar dropdown will also no longer open until
Firefox is restarted and suggestions will not be offered when filling
in form fields.
I have tested this using the askubuntu scope (unity-scope-askubuntu)
of the help lens (unity-lens-help) and also using the reddit lens from
my own PPA. It has also been reoprted on askubuntu as an issue in
Ubuntu 12.04.1 using unity-lens-askubuntu from the software centre:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/184437/bug-involving-the-launch-of-
firefox-from-askubuntu-lens
A workaround for this appears to be using a specific command to open
the webbrowser in 'activate_uri' rather than letting unity
automatically open the result.
eg: in the askubuntu scope, connecting the 'activate_uri' signal to the scope
and making it run the following:
def activate_uri(self, scope, uri):
webbrowser.open(uri)
return Unity.ActivationResponse(handled=Unity.HandledType.HIDE_DASH,
goto_uri='')
