webbrowser.open launches firefox in background

Hello,

On Debian Etch, when I use the webbrowser.open module to launch
firefox with a url, it opens UNDER gnome terminal in the background.

If I just launch firefox from the commandline, it opens in the
foreground.

Any ideas about why? Is there a command option I'm missing.

Thanks,

Rick
