Just to follow up, looking at the issue a bit more, I figured out the 
more elegant way to do it is to say:

echo 'FIREFOX_OPEN_IN="tab"' >> ~/.mozilla-firefoxrc

as the user for whom you would like to change the behaviour. There is 
also an /etc/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-firefoxrc file for setting the 
default global behaviour. Once again: this may vary between 
distributions.
