Try typing this at a command line:

  /opt/firefox/firefox -remote "openURL(www.yahoo.com, new-tab)"

If it opens Yahoo! in a new Firefox window, then I can't help.  If you get 
"Error: No running window found," then try changing your script to run 
mozilla-xremote-client (which is in the same directory as the firefox 
binary) instead of firefox -remote (i.e, 
$FIREFOX_PATH/mozilla-xremote-client "openURL($@, new-tab)" [etc.]).  This 
has been working for me, and I was having the same problem as you with 
firefox -remote.
