My setting in External Programs is:

   firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-window)'

and has been that way for some time, now. I use this because I like it
to open a new window. So I tried changing the new-window to new-tab and
minimizing my FF windows (I use WindowManager on openSUSE 11.4) and
clicking on a link in Claws then opened the page in a tab of one of the
minimized windows and raised that window, as well.
