Shouldn't you bind browse-url-at-mouse instead:


| browse-url-at-mouse: an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `browse-url'.
|
| Ask a WWW browser to load a URL clicked with the mouse.
| The URL is the one around or before the position of the mouse click
| but point is not changed.  The URL is loaded according to the value of
| `browse-url-browser-function'.
