This seems to be how Mozilla works on Linux... in order to open a new
browser window you simply create a new one from the same instance of
Mozilla.

ie. "file.. new... browser window" or Ctrl-N

I have never questioned this behaviour... it is certainly different from
the way that Mozilla behaves in Windows, but has never caused me a
problem.
