> When using `browse-url-firefox', it creates 2 identical tabs.
>
> To reproduce:
>
> 1. emacs -q
> 2. Evaluate in *sctatch* buffer:
>
> (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox
> browse-url-new-window-flag t
> browse-url-firefox-new-window-is-tab t)
>
> 3. Make sure the Firefox executable is in the `exec-path':
>
> (add-to-list 'exec-path "C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox")
>
> 4. Call `browse-url-firefox' by evaluating:
>
> (browse-url-firefox "http://www.gnu.org")
>
> Emacs will then show 2 identical Firefox tabs instead of only one.
Isn't this the same problem as described here?

AFAIR, that thread concluded that this is specific to the Windows
version of Firefox.
