9 True, but you can't have it both ways. Either ',' characters are a
10 part of the URL, or they are not. And your idea of dumping
11 mozilla-launcher altogether will also break this case as well.

13 Besides which, I would say that any user doing that is relying on both
14 undefined and unexpected behavior. The defined way of doing this
15 would be "MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=new-tab firefox http://site/".
