How can I use -remote openURL without opening a new tab?
I have a web based kiosk which I built a very long time ago (before tabbed browsing) which uses periodic calls to:
firefox -remote 'openURL(http://start.csail.mit.edu/mit-museum)'
to reset the kiosk to the home page (the function relies on free form web browsing not a single pointed app that can just periodically reload)
On modern firefoxes (working with 12 now) this call always opens a new tab. What I'd like to do is close all existing tabs but one and return that one to the home page.
Is there a way to do this with a '-remote' call or do I need to kill and restart the browser?

in about:conifg try setting "browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external" to 1
edit: sorry, didn't read your question thoroughly, the above will only open an external url in the current tab but not reset the session
