The commas are encoded in the `browse-url-firefox' function, because
otherwise Firefox would treat them as delimiters in the command line.
One could argue that the sport.pl server should decode the encoded
commas. Apparently it doesn't, but I guess it's common for server-side
dispatching programs to ignore the issue.
A possible workaround is to use the `browse-url-generic' function
instead. Set the `browse-url-generic-program' option to "firefox".
