webbrowser.open() works fine with Firefox 11.0 and it fails with Firefox
36.0 in the same way that Leo-Editor "open URL" fails.

As you pointed out, some code "upstream" of Leo-Editor is probably using
the -remote browser command line option; and it is far from clear what,
if anything, Leo-Editor should do.  Maybe "upstream" will change.  Maybe
Firefox will be forced to undo the change.

I was unaware of the distinction between Chrome and Chromium.  Until
today I had only tried Chromium (open-source project).  Now I have tried
Chrome.  Unfortunately just like Chromium, Leo-Editor is hung from the
time the "open URL" is executed till the Chrome browser terminates.
This is intolerable to me.

In addition, both Chrome and Chromium take almost a minute every time a
new instance is started.  This is probably sandbox setup overhead.

For the short term, I will downgrade Firefox to a previous version.

Thanks.
