There is a trick to it in shape of a script:
browserPath="/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox"
Fox="firefox"
Client="mozilla-xremote-client"
if [ "${1:0:1}" = "/" ]
then url="file://"$@
else url="$@"
fi
if [ $(ps aux | grep firefox | wc -l) -ge 4 ]; then
exec $browserPath$Client -a firefox openURL"($url,new-tab)"
else
$browserPath$Fox $url
fi
exit
Save this script and tell your system to use the script instead of
launching firefox directly.
Good luck
