Launching an intent created with Intent.makeMainSelectorActivity(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, Intent.CATEGORY_APP_BROWSER) starts any other browser but Firefox or none if Firefox is the only Browser installed.

Hallo Michael, I've just added the APP_BROWSER category to the only launcher intent available, which resolves the issue and shouldn't have any side effects.

Out of curiosity, how did you find out about this bug? Are there many applications that create intents this way?

I've used this intent once and my tests failed on one device running Firefox and no other browser. But I don't know of any other application using it.
