It would be nice to have a script that tries firebird -remote 
first, and then starts a new process.  For me it it is not primarily 
an issue of resources, but rather avoiding annoying profile conflict
messages when some program tries to invoke firebird to browse help.

I have attached a simple one shamelessly cribbed from the
mozilla-devel port.
