My python version is:
tux 0 ~ $ ipython 
Python 2.5 (release25-maint, Mar 29 2007, 11:14:31) 
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I use the example given at http://docs.python.org/lib/module-webbrowser.html :
In [1]: import webbrowser

In [2]: url = 'http://www.python.org'

In [3]: webbrowser.open_new_tab(url + '/doc')

The location bar of firefox shows:

file:///home/tux/%22http://www.python.org/doc%22

and firefox cannot open the URL.

This problem also occurs with local dir URLs. webbrowser.open also has this problem. In python 2.4.4 things are OK.

This should be fixed in 2.5.1 which comes out in a few days. If not, please reopen.
