Good catch. I'll add it.

I rephrased it to:
	echo >&2 "$testexe (detected as $browser) is not a supported browser, skipping"

I believe it is. If the *www-browser detection was successful, _that's_ what we want to launch, so we want to skip the init_browser_path in that else section, which we would hit if we didn't check for $browser_path. We also don't want to repeat the valid_tool check, since we know it's valid already.
