Thanks for adding this, but in adding new-tab support to the existing
code the nesting got broken.  I think it should read as follows:


(defun browse-url-mozilla (url &optional new-window)
  "Ask the Mozilla WWW browser to load URL.
Default to the URL around or before point.  The strings in variable
`browse-url-mozilla-arguments' are also passed to Mozilla.

When called interactively, if variable `browse-url-new-window-flag' is
non-nil, load the document in a new Mozilla window, otherwise use a
random existing one.  A non-nil interactive prefix argument reverses
the effect of `browse-url-new-window-flag'.

If `browse-url-mozilla-new-window-is-tab' is non-nil, then whenever a
document would otherwise be loaded in a new window, it is loaded in a
new tab in an existing window instead.

When called non-interactively, optional second argument NEW-WINDOW is
used instead of `browse-url-new-window-flag'."
  (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: "))
  ;; URL encode any `confusing' characters in the URL.  This needs to
  ;; include at least commas; presumably also close parens.
  (while (string-match "[,)]" url)
    (setq url (replace-match
	       (format "%%%x" (string-to-char (match-string 0 url))) t t url)))
  (let* ((process-environment (browse-url-process-environment))
         (process
	  (apply 'start-process
		 (concat "mozilla " url) nil
		 browse-url-mozilla-program
		 (append
		  browse-url-mozilla-arguments
		  (list "-remote"
			(concat "openURL("
				url
				(if (browse-url-maybe-new-window
				     new-window)
				    (if browse-url-mozilla-new-window-is-tab
					",new-tab"
				      ",new-window"))
				")"))))))
    (set-process-sentinel process
			  `(lambda (process change)
			     (browse-url-mozilla-sentinel process ,url)))))
