Yes. You can run it
This is odd. I'm in redhat 7.3 and mozilla opens a new window from
sylpheed using the command mozilla %s. If I use mozilla -remote
openurl(%s,new-window) it works as well. If I remove the new-window,
leaving mozilla -remote openurl(%s) it uses the existing instance of
mozilla. I currently have 2
I doubt redhat 7.3 has mozilla 1.0. It was just released. That is when
the problem started. It was different in 0,99.
the new_window thing just makes each link open a new window - but it is
the same mozilla. Without this option, each link replaces the current one.
This is a matter of preference.
Someone has now posted a patch in Bugzilla that fixes the problem and
invotes the -remote openurl() behavior if mozilla is running or starts
mozilla if it isn't. So you can now invoke it with just 'mozilla foo' as
would be expected. Why this wasn't in the original is mindboggling.

Why would you want to run a second instance as the same user? Why not
just enabled tabbed browsing and configure other apps to use
mozilla -remoteURL(foo)? Mozilla's enough of a porker as it is
without running two instances.
Err, I meant mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s)'

Yes. You can run it twice from within. But from without it refuses. Tabbed
browsing only works from
