Alex, there are some changes I need to make to the -remote handling in the
wrapper. This may be my problem and not Mozilla's. OpenUrl should be one
of the ones that works right now, but maybe I goofed. (I have to do things
to -remote in order to make multiple-instance Mozilla use work the way we
believe a user would expect, and my way of doing it was apparently
suboptimal.)
