<p>I'm going to test gtk_show_uri() (and the _on_window variant) on Windows, maybe it works for file:// and http:// URIs even without GVFS what should be well enough for opening URLs in the browser.</p>

<p>Great, don't forget to test URLs with <code>#foo</code> on them in case GTK just uses <code>ShellExecute</code> internally.</p>
<p>The PR sounds great, but I'm not sure about your last point though since it will break firefox for those where it does actually work.</p>
