" Open firefox - maps to Option|Command|f

map <M-D-f> :!/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -P dev

The above works but blocks in Vim. I want to do:

map <M-D-f> :!/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -P dev &

but Firefox does not open. Any suggestions on creating a key binding for opening firefox from within vim in the background? BTW, I'm actually using macvim. Thanks.
