Everything works here, as expected.

    firefox &
    /usr/local/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client "openURL(http://kernel.org/, new-tab)"
    /usr/local/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client "openFile(file:///etc/, new-tab)"

Try a simple script for start, eg.

    TARGET=/usr/share/firefox_0.9.1/firefox
    REMOTE=/usr/local/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client

    if ! $REMOTE "openURL($1, new-tab)"; then
	$TARGET "$1" &
    done
