BTW. The firebox-bin binary in Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS does not support the command-line arguments that Firefox on Linux supports. That is, the following command does not work:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -remote 'openURL("http://www.apple.com/",new-tab)'

This will start the firefox binary, but that complains that firefox is already running (because I already had FF open)

This means that it won't be possible to have one Firefox support class that works the same on all platforms.
