Specifically, it was trying to run something like "/opt/sfw/
firefox-2.06/firefox %s", which doesn't exist. Changing it to
"firefox %s" worked. I have in the past encountered people with
weird (what might appear to be upstream default) paths such as the one
listed above, and /usr/lib/firefox-something, but was unable to
identify a pattern in the affected users.
