Here's how I accomplish it with Mozilla. I think the odds are good it
will work with Firefox, as well.
I assume you've dealt with the basic file association so that instead of
Konqueror your HTTP URLs are being sent to Firefox. The refinement you
need is this (or something like it):
Command:
/usr/local/bin/mozilla -remote "openURL(%u)"
For me, using Mozilla 1.7.3, this opens the URL in whichever tab is
currently displayed. I almost always have just one Mozilla window open
with lots of tabs. I don't know what will happen if multiple Mozilla
windows are open. Probably it will target the one that was most
recently active.
This page: <http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html> is a
little easier to read the the "-help" command-line output. The details
of the "-remote" option are given here:
<http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html>.
