Details

If a helper option requires an argument (for example "xmms --enqueue") then
mozilla tries access() on the whole field value, ie

access("/usr/bin/xmms --enqueue")

which fails, of course, as it should be checking

access("/usr/bin/xmms")

and then appending --enqueue only when it's actually executed.
dupe of "no support for helper app command line args"
