Since we are on the topic, I got fancy. IIRC, the above command only works if
Moz is already open. Mine opens Moz if it isn't already running or opens the
link in a new tab in the existing Moz instance:

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# != 0 ] ; then
        mozilla -remote "openurl($1, new-tab)"
        if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
                mozilla $1
        fi
fi

This script is saved as ~/launch-mozilla and my browser command in Pan is set
to "~/launch-mozilla %s". Works like a champ. I also use it for my mail client
and other apps that I need to call a browser from on occasion.
