[Users] Opening link in Firefox

That's an interesting option. However, i couldn't get that option to work in Debian iceweasel 10 and it is not documented in the manpage either. Maybe it was not compiled in, or even dropped completely in that version ? 

According to http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html  there is also openURL(URL,new-tab) and one could investigate if that makes a difference. However, i would think the both are just the same as the plain -new-tab and -new-window option.
Would you be able to clarify if just doing a firefox -new-window instead (in claws) would achieve the same result for you ?

So if it basically works for you, then chances are the original problem was caused by insufficient compatibility between ff and the window manager. It would be interesting to know which window manager your openSUSE uses, i.e., it's upstream name.
