exmh with mozilla-firefox

When I have firefox already running, then executing
'mozilla-firefox <some url>'
will open up a new tab in the existing browser. I'm trying to
configure a similar behavior in exmh. To
configure exmh for the behavior I want with Opera, specifying
this in ~/.exmh/exmh-defaults works:
*uriMosaicApp: opera
*uriNetscapeCmd: \
opera -remote openURL($xuri,background-page) -display :0.1 -nosession
In the exmh GUI "*uriMosaicApp" is the "Mosaic program name", and
"*uriNetscapeCmd" is the "Netscape command".
When I specify the "Mosaic program name" as "firefox" and the
"Netscape command" as "mozilla-firefox $xuri" then I get the
firefox pop-up window saying:
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open
a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox
process, or restart your system.
I've been told that firefox syntax would be:
mozilla-firefox -remote "openURL($xuri,new-tab)"
When I use that syntax, then the xterm where I started exmh displays
this message:
Error: No running window found
When I leave off the double-quotes in the config, then I get the
firefox warning about an already running firefox. Likewise, I
get that error when I leave off -remote. --display-":0.1" doesn't
change the behavior.
For what it's worth, I'm using firefox 1.5.0.3 with exmh 2.7.0.
Does anyone know how to get firefox to respond correctly to clicking
on a URL in exmh?
Thanks much....
