Nope, that's not the right format for that command. (The next release
will have some better error handling for this case.) The "*" is for
special strings like "*firefox" or "*iexplore"; you're not supposed to use
it to launch your own program like "/usr/bin/mozilla". So in this case,
you really wanted to type:

cmd=getNewBrowserSession&1=/usr/bin/mozilla&2=http://google.com it shows

But that's not all. /usr/bin/mozilla isn't really the right command
either, because that's almost certainly a symlink to a shell script.
You're going to want to follow that symlink, find the shell script, find
the actual -bin file that it intended to launch (probably mozilla-bin) and
launch that directly. You probably want to define the MOZ_NO_REMOTE
environment variable as well while you're at it.n
