You can do this via a script.  Make an executable script in 
/usr/local/bin or ~/bin called moznewtab:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/firefox -remote "openURL($@, new-tab)" || exec /usr/bin/firefox 
"$@";

(those last "two" lines are all one if the wrapping get it).

Then, to use this, simply refer all calls that used to go to firefox to 
moznewtab (like "moznewtab %s").  I'm on a WinXP box right now, so I 
can't really recall, but I think you do this in Terminal itself.  For 
Evolution or the like, you need to redefine the http/https handlers.

Hope this works,
Matt
