Yes, the problem is the remote option going away. The emacs function
browse-url-firefox uses the remote option on non-ms-dos systems.
Changing that function to not use the remote option solves the problem.

X-XFCE-Commands=%B -new-window about:blank;%B;
X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter=%B -new-tab %s;%B %s;

The root cause is removing the -remote option in Firefox 36:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options#Remote_Control
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319
I'm running XFCE and the option is used in
/usr/share/xfce4/helpers/firefox.desktop.

the Ubuntu package maintainers to put into the next release.
