Hello Sidney, if you go to setup and then config from the main menu (S and 
C), scroll down until you find URL-Viewers (or you can search for it with 
W).

This is what I have there:

URL-Viewers                         = /home/db/Programs/firefox/firefox 
--new-tab --url

I hope it works!

Best regards,
Daniel
