[Linux] - Would like firefox opening the same tab if it already exists

more options

I do have two launchers on my Linux desktop configure as below :

Launcher1 => "firefox https://www.ebay.com" Launcher2 => "firefox https://www.paypal.com"

Now when i click on the same launcher twice or even more, I would strongly like Firefox to open the same Tab if it already exists and not adding more tabs pointing to the same url even if i click on it 10 times.

Reason? Very simple, the laptop belongs to an old woman I would like to help and it happens she prefers clicking on the launcher on the desktop to reopen the same url.

Thank you for your help! Best, N.

In Windows firefox I don't see such options available so unless there is a Addon/Extension that does that-it's looking like there is no built in showing.
