I'm not a big fan of the BROWSER variable.

1) Support for it is spotty and inconsistent, and there's no actual standard for
it.  Some random thing that ESR says on his website does not a spec make.

2) It's not desktop-session changeable.  That is, you can't change your
preferred browser in a GUI somewhere, and have it propagate to all running apps.
 A restart is required.

3) My opinion of ESR is pretty low.  Ok, this isn't a very good reason.

Either way, I don't feel strongly about it.  Someone else can 'fix' it if they
so desire.
