I've moved to browse-url-generic, and firefox seems to do the right thing. This is what custom-set-variables has: '(browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-generic)) '(browse-url-generic-program "firefox") (I'm on linux too, I have no idea whether this works on other systems.) It looks like firefox will revert to accept -remote again. But their main difficulty is with "profiles", afaiu. If you use profiles, or have specific firefox options, then you may also have to set browse-url-generic-args. -- Alain.
