I'm sure letting the Mozilla people find why it doesn't work is shorter than working around the problem. Please report that as a bug. Let me know if you have questions.
My intent is not to lecture you, but make sure the maximum number of people will enjoy the solution.

Hi, all
There used to be a way of determining if firefox is running by checking the return value of:
$ firefox -remote "ping()"
However I tried it on 1.0 PR and it's gone. I googled for it and found a message that says the same thing so I guess it's not my problem. Anyway, I needed that, so I wrote a workaround that uses ps. The attached script is designed to open a page in firefox, but if firefox is already running, do it in a new tab.
I submit this for your enjoyment and critical review. I wonder if there is a better (or simply other) way to do it.
