Public bug reported: If path to a browser defined via the $BROWSER environment variable contains a whitespace character, running sensible-browser should launch browser defined by $BROWSER.
If path to a browser defined via the $BROWSER environment variable contains a whitespace character, running sensible-browser will not parse the whitespace characters and therefore not load the browser defined by $BROWSER.
