Dear Jonathan, Thanks for looking at this bug report.
It might be the case the kfmclient did only support konqueror in the past (compare http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/en/man1/kfmclient.1.html to the link I gave in my initial report). However, it does work for me with Firefox: typing "kfmclient openURL http://www.google.com &" in the console opens a new tab with google in Firefox for me. Note that I have set Firefox as the program that handles http(s). The reason I stumbled upon this issue was that KBibTeX uses kfmclient to open on-line searches for bibliographic data. I did not have Konqueror installed, and I got a message that kfmclient was missing, so I started looking around and found that it was in the konqueror package, which I installed, after which the on-line search worked (opens tabs in Firefox).
