Hello Brian, Thanks for your comment.
If I type the following command at the shell:
   xdg-open "http://www.bbc.co.uk";

Then I get a newly opened, maximised Firefox window, which opens a blank page 
(the Ubuntu start page, exactly as if within Firefox, I had pressed Ctrl+N.)

However, if I run either of the following commands:
   firefox  "http://www.bbc.co.uk";
  firefox -new-tab  "http://www.bbc.co.uk";
then the BBC page opens in a new tab as I would expect.

I'm doing this in Ubuntu Mate, 64-bit, Wily, fully updated as of now,
Firefox is already running.

Are there any other tests it would help for me to do?
