That's interesting - I wonder if your problem is unique to Mozilla.

Here the default browser is OmniWeb, and that can be opened with   
`open http://google.com`. On the other hand `open -a Safari.app  
http://google.com` opens the page in Safari, largely as I'd expected  
from the manpage. It might be worth quoting 'http://google.com' as er  
the manpage examples but I'm not optimistic.
