I first noticed this with a `bzr lp-open` command which just uses the python webbrowser module. Stepping into that with the python debugger it seemed to be stuck on os.waitpid. Trying the following command from the command line I get the firefox browser to open a tab and load the page, but the application doesn't return control back to the shell.
