Public bug reported:
In Firefox the "-remote" option was removed in version 36.0
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319).
Unfortunately the current Thunderbird in Ubuntu 14.04 still uses this option.
When I click on an http URL in a email an empty Firefox windows opens
and ps reports a firefox instance with "-remote "OpenURL(...)".
