Seems this the case of a single URL, we don't run it through the shell
unescaping.  Tested all the hard cases :-)

Title:
  Webbrowser tries to open file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'URL'
  instead of the URL directly

Status in Upstart Application Launcher:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I notice this one while using Facebook webapp. It starts working fine,
  when I click on a link it opens the webbrowser as it should, but after
  a while when I click the link it goes to the webbbrowser window and
  fails trying to open "file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'URL'" instead.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) adb shell; su - phablet;
  2) upstart-app-launch webbrowser-app http://www.ubuntu.com
  Browser should open trying to load www.ubuntu.com.
  3) Run the same command again.
  Browser will open displaying error message:
  "Network Error
  It appears you are having trouble viewing: file:///usr/share/webbrowser-app/'http://www.ubuntu.com'.
  Ubuntu suggests you check your network settings and try refreshing the page."

  Currently using r27 with channel devel-proposed, read-only, in a Nexus
  4. This problem wasn't happening with only devel (r10).
