Comment(by salinasv):

 xdg-open needs to be run on kde, gnome, xfce or set the correct BROWSER
 env variable.

 That said, I think it's better, safer and more standard to use "xdg-open"
 than "mozilla". It would be even better if we add a message in the prefs
 dialog pointing the BROWSER variable for people not using that DE.
