This case: Yes, you're right.
But I see this as an advantage, as users would use the original
firefox script as shipped by mozilla.com and might find a lot
more documentation. For example, "-remote openURL()" would work
as documented on mozilla.com (or does it already work like
documented there, thanks to some "magic" in mozilla-launcher?).
