This is a pretty nice idea. I just did some looking around and found
that the following works from the CLI, except it opens the URL new tab
mozilla -a firefox -remote'openURL(http://www.foo.com/index.html)'
Here's some syntax:
mozilla -a firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-tab)'
I use Firefox v.1.0.7. and had to set Preferences/Advanced to open URLs
from remote application in "same tab/window".
Next thing is to run this from within emacs in a couple different ways.
hth,
