I think that this is the relevant code (I cannot test this hypothesis
without breaking my vow of laziness):

    # check to see if there's an already running instance or not
    ALREADY_RUNNING=`check_running`

    # If there is no command line argument at all then try to open a new
    # window in an already running instance.
    if [ "${ALREADY_RUNNING}" -eq "1" ] && [ -z "$1" ]; then
      exec $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM_PARAM "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)" 2>/dev/null>/dev/null
    fi



Ok, interestingly the firefox script from RedHat/Fedora includes this bit of code, but the one directly from mozilla does not and yet it still behaves the same.

Therefore: i believe that the RH/Fedora script is a patch they KEEP applying (firefox.sh.in from the srpm) and is only there to confuse the issue. :)

too bad when you issue `rpm -e package.src.rpm` it does not know how to clean up /usr/src/redhat.
