The attached script works for me.

Just set the script as your "default browser" and it will automagically
launch a new Firefox or open links in new tabs, if Firefox is already
running.

The script basically is the same as I already sent quite often to the
lists. Apparently Firefox finally behaves like Mozilla and respects the
remote options -- IIRC they used to go some strange other ways before...
