BUG - lilyterm should check for firefox existing before trying to open a URL

I'll check it. Thanks for reporting this bug!

I suggest using xdg-open http://xxxxxx to open URL instead of firefox http://xxxxxx. Because xdg-open will automatically select the default browser you have set in DE settings.

It's not a bad idea, but not everyone intalled the xdg-utils package in his system...

Yeah it is. Maybe you can try xdg-open first, if failed then fall back to other methods.

I think it will make the program too complicated. I like to keep it simple... (although LilyTerm is complicated enough XD)

Perhaps it is not having something to do with the code.
Just change the default conf file:

# The web browser using for http(s)://
web_browser = xdg-open
web_method = 1
web_VTE_CJK_WIDTH = 0
web_environ = 
web_locale = 

# The ftp client using for ftp(s)://
ftp_client = xdg-open
ftp_method = 1
ftp_VTE_CJK_WIDTH = 0
ftp_environ = 
ftp_locale = 

# The file manager using for file:// and [Open current directory with file manager]
file_manager = xdg-open
file_method = 1
file_VTE_CJK_WIDTH = 0
file_environ = 
file_locale = 

# The email client using for user@host
email_client = xdg-open
email_method = 1
email_VTE_CJK_WIDTH = 0
email_environ = 
email_locale = 

If the user does not have xdg-utils installed, he/she can edit the conf file, right?

(BTW, If you are interested in, you may want to have a look at my conf file which is good for those who have just switched from GNOME terminal.)
