I modified my browse-url function to do this. No Joy. So I tried it from the command line (release FF and locally-built nightly. No Joy.

"./firefox -new-tab http://example.com/" opens the profile selector, always.
Ditto for "./firefox url".
If I select a profile and say "open this one by default", then if I try to use -new-tab I get a bunch of "fcntl(F_SETLK) failed. errno = 11" (no surprise) and then it fails.

firefox.exe -new-tab <whatever> seems to work on Windows

Huh.... So we seem to be horribly broken on linux now. Hopefully this is some odd artifact of my system/env...

Fedora 19, though it likely doesn't matter for the Nightly tests.
