Here's a script I use for such annoyances.
#!/bin/bash
browserPath="/usr/local/firefox/firefox"
url="$@"
$browserPath -a firefox -remote "ping()"
# $? = false if running, true if not
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
exec $browserPath -a firefox -remote openURL"($url,new-tab)"
else
$browserPath $url
fi
exit
If you have a pre-0.9 version of firefox, you should drop the "-a".
