Hello, your name is at the top of browse-url.el so i hope you are the
right person to report this to.  

I am using emacs 21.3 under Debian Linux and Mozilla.  I have found
that the browse-url-mozilla function produces and incorrect list of
arguments for start-process when the new-window flag is nil.  If the
new-window flag is nil then the following line of code:

           (if new-window ",new-window")

will return nil and thus put a 'nil' into the list of program
arguments.  start-process signals an error because the program
arguments should all be strings.  

I think the simple fix would be to change this line to be:

           (if new-window ",new-window" "")

Thanks.
