bug#19921: [PATCH] browse-url-firefox: Remove MS-Windows special case.

[Ulrich Mueller <ulm@gentoo.org>]

Firefox on MS-Windows supports both the -new-tab and -new-window
options, so the special case is no longer necessary there. I have
tested this with Firefox 11.0 under Windows XP and Firefox 36.0.1
under MS-Windows 8.1.

See patch below. It should be pushed to the emacs-24 branch, I guess?
