I'm running the mozilla 1.1 beta for linux. I'd like to set my email program to open urls I click on in emails as new tabs in an open instance of mozilla or to open the url in a new instance of mozilla if there is not one already running. I thought just executing the "-remote" command "openurl(url, new-tab)" would do this, but this only works if you already have a running instance of mozilla. any suggestions on a command to do this? I was thinking of writing a perl script that checks for running instances of mozilla first and executes the right command accordingly, but I'm not too good with perl and I'd prefer not to have to fool around with it.
