By a cosmic coincidence I just put the following in my .emacs file,
which opens a page in a new tab using an existing Firefox.  

(defun browse-url-firefox (url &optional new-window)
  (shell-command (concat "/usr/local/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client \"openurl("
                 url
                 ",new-tab)\"")))

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox)
