Open a URL in Firefox via PowerShell?

I want the url to be opened in Firefox by Powershell script

To make things a bit difficult, Firefox is not the default browser and it is a portable Firefox version.

Edit:

There seems to be some problem with my portable firefox installation. Even when making it the default browser, it doesn't work properly when invoked by start url.

I rechecked it with a fresh install of portable Firefox 4.0 from here and ittlefoot's solution works fine.

try 

[system.Diagnostics.Process]::Start("firefox","your-url")

not sure it'll work on portable version you might have to (replace "firefox" with the path to the portable exe) however, it works even if firefox is not default.

Using the website as the first argument should work.

X:\path-to-firefox\firefox.exe "http://website-to-launch.com/yadda"
