I got frustrated trying to find settings in TB & firefox for this.
Went to Gnome settings and set default web and mail apps to scripts
that call with '-remote'

  /usr/local/firefox/firefox -a firefox -remote "openurl($*,new-tab)"

  mail=`echo "$1" | sed -e's/^mailto://'`
  /usr/local/bin/thunderbird -remote "mailto($mail)"

Anybody using a better way?
