Sometimes you need a script to do it.

The one I use is below:
-----------------
#!/bin/sh
FIREBIRD_CMD="/usr/local/bin/MozillaFirefox/firefox"
 
if [ "$1x" = "x" ]; then
        URL="about:blank"
else
        URL=$1
fi
FIREBIRD_REMOTE="openURL(${URL},new-window)"
${FIREBIRD_CMD} -remote "ping()" && $FIREBIRD_CMD -remote ${FIREBIRD_REMOTE}&& exit 0

${FIREBIRD_CMD} ${URL}
--------------------

Copy this into a file in /usr/bin, or somewhere else in $PATH, chmod +x
the script, and modify the FIREBIRD_CMD variable so it is the path to the
file you currently run to start firefox.
