A clarification about the script...
It uses the -remote command line argument to work.  It appears that this
functionality is broken in the 0.9 and 0.9.1 releases of firefox.  I'm not
sure if it's just broken or if they're changing it.  However, the script I
posted works with firefox 0.8, and Mozilla as well.
