To test the "xdg-open" command, I used google's search page which opened in the background. Nevertheless, in background, it used a bit over 9MB/s to display the animation on it's search page -- not a problem for me, but it does seem 80Mb/s might be a stretch for somebody on WiFI.
Interesting. I think that if you fire up firefox from inside ssh, it tries to run Firefox of the client machine, thus avoiding that B/W problem. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
