Hi, when using the --search option with firefox in the command line a new window is opened regardless of whether the 'open in new tab instead of new window' option is checked in settings or whether the --new-instance option is added.

Is there a way around this? I'm trying to have a command that would make a search in a new tab of the current instance of Firefox.

Thanks.
