I've done some more testing on this. Building firefox-1.0.4 with the attached
build script should produce a copy of firefox in /usr/lib and make a symbolic
link pointing at it from /usr/bin. Running firefox and then trying to open a
second instance will open the new url in the current window. The solution is to
replace the /usr/lib/firefox/firefox script with the attached firefox script.
This will open a second instance of firefox in a new window (can be changed to
a new tab by editing line 188). Hope this helps
