between google and firefox it's nearly impossible to get anything done!

I have a long ugly google url stored in a file.  It's stored in a file
so if I find a browser that works with javascript and can take an url
from a file when the browser gets started and open that url for me I can
maybe get this done.  The long ugly url is over 200 characters long
which is why I would like to avoid keying it all in.

I just thought of something.  This will even work with firefox but it's
only for us braille users who write braille on paper and have plenty of
paper.  I could rewrite the url on paper so it's split into 5 character
groups and have commas separating each of the groups and as I key in
each group change the comma to a semicolon so I know that group already
got keyed in and move along to the next group.
