What version of FF are you using? Even if I run from irb using system or exec it hangs.

If that is not working for you, you might want to try exec BUT having said that, watch out because exec overwrites the existing process, so if you are calling it from another process, your originial process will hang. all my test machines are set up using a perl script and one of the setup processes launches FF. The system command I tried above was from irb and it came back and nothing hung.
