Sounds like a browser specific problem, webbrowsers is fine with IE5.

Since .open uses existing windows (vs .open_new), the code might be
starting a new Mozilla window (as desired) then trying to load the
html into it, but is instead creating even another browser with it.
It might be acting strangely on your machine because of some change
to Mozilla that no longer requires the old start then load code.
( Which would likely be how the IE-specific code works )
