The /usr/bin/firefox script should already do this for you.  However,
the firefox from fedora.us uses new-window instead of new-tab.  I just
manually edited /usr/bin/firefox to use new-tab.  I think when I last
checked, firefox from Dag's (?) repo used new-tab but I'm not sure.

If you are using gnome stuff, you should set the preferred web browser
(using gnome-default-applications-properties) to "firefox %s".
