When times come where an url absolutely must be opened with firefox or equivalent browser as a console user this is what I do. First copy the entire url from its original location using mark and cut in speakup. Next drop back to my linux box and edit a new file called surf. Paste the url into surf once surf is in append mode. Next join all lines in the file to a single line. Next remove all spaces from that single line. Next append firefox followed by a space to the beginning of that line. Next exit and save surf. Next make surf executeable chmod 755 surf. Next start x and orca. Finally alt+f2 then type ~/surf. If all of this got done correctly, firefox will open your url for you automatically and leave you on the web page. After that, you're on your own.
