This is down to Python's webbrowser module. To launch a URL from a Python
program, you say "webbrowser.open(url)". With a graphical browser, the
browser starts up and the Python program continues. But with a text-mode
browser, the Python program blocks until the user exits the browser.
The upshot is that you can't use -b with a text-mode browser. Sorry!
