Nothing like responding to my own post... :p But, you got me
thinking- I've been known to absentmindedly hit the taskbar icon instead of
Ctrl+N on many occasions. I'd like to fit this myself, so I dug around
and found this:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html
It looks like we can hack the start up script (/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla)
to do something like this:
mozilla -remote "openUrl(http://your.home.page, new-window)"
if [ "$?" -eq 2 ] then mozilla
The -remote option doesn't work if there isn't an instance already running,
but luckily it sets the return value so we can just start a new copy...
HMM. I'm gonna have to try and get this working when I get a few minutes
of free time.

Redundancy? You can say that again!
