good question ... don't know ... but i believe that the firebird 
developer aware
of it and have a reason why they don't add it. the only way to find it 
out is to
search the bugzilla database or open a bug if you find nothing.

i don't think it's a good idea to add a FreeBSD patch unless there are 
OS-specific
problems to solve. in my opinion a better solution is to make this 
script available
as separate port e.g.: www/firefox-remote.

of course - there are also the possibility to rename bin/firefox to 
bin/firefox.sh
and install such a wrapper-script as bin/firefox

question to the list: should i make a port for www/firefox-remote or not?
