Not sure. I see them first mentioned in the release notes for Firefox
2.0 from 2006:
http://website-archive.mozilla.org/www.mozilla.org/firefox_releasenotes/en-US/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/
At that point "-remote" was deprecated.
However, back then they were spelled with one hyphen, i.e. "-new-tab"
and "-new-window". I don't know, since when the double-hyphen version
are working. To be on the save side, it is probably better to use
single-hyphen "-new-tab" and "-new-window"?
