If netscape/mozilla/phoenix is already running, clicking a link in my mail
client wanted to start a new instance of ns/moz/phoenix. If I told it to
open a url in a new tab, it would, but only if ns/moz/phoenix was running.
I guess you get the idea.
This little script will just test to see if the browser is running, and if
it isn't it starts it and loads the url; if the browser is already
running, it opens the url in a new tab.
In the mail client I just specify what to do with urls:
/path/to/script '%s'
The example here is just for phoenix, because that's what I use now.
Change it to reflect the path to your mozilla or netscape.

#/bin/bash
url="$@"
/home/todd/phoenix/phoenix -remote "ping()"
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
/home/todd/phoenix/phoenix -remote openURL"($url,new-tab)"
else
/home/todd/phoenix/phoenix $url
fi
exit
