here's a script that i made for me just before some days:
--------- cut ---------
> cat fire-start
#!/bin/sh
FIREBIRD_CMD="/usr/X11R6/bin/firebird"
if [ "$1x" = "x" ]; then
URL="about:black"
else
URL=$1
fi
FIREBIRD_REMOTE="openURL(${URL},new-tab)"
${FIREBIRD_CMD} -remote "ping()" && firebird -remote ${FIREBIRD_REMOTE}
&& exit 0
${FIREBIRD_CMD} ${URL}
--------- cut ---------
use it instead of /usr/X11R6/bin/firebird
