Thanks David,
It finally worked. I used -

nmap <F2> :w<CR>:exec "!firefox " . substitute(expand('%:p'),"\/home\/
username\/public_html","http\:\/\/localhost","")<CR>

Thanks again.
BTW, is there any way I can run this in background? Everytime I press F2,
firefox opens and I cannot use vim until I close firefox. So I need to
call this in background and I can edit in vim. Next time I press F2,
another tab in firefox will be opened.
