Linux: Shell.openExternal with a link fails with Firefox #1537

Description

@bpasero

This is a weird one: On my Ubuntu with Firefox installed as default browser, Shell.openExternal() with a http URL only works if Firefox is running. If it is not running, it does not start after calling the method. When I then click on Firefox from the task bar in my desktop, I get a message telling me that Firefox is already running and that I have to shutdown the process. Somehow Firefox gets stuck when being opened through Shell.openExternal().

I dont see this behavior when Firefox is opened and I can also not reproduce when using Google Chrome.
