I think that this is the relevant code (I cannot test this hypothesis
without breaking my vow of laziness):

    # check to see if there's an already running instance or not
    ALREADY_RUNNING=`check_running`

    # If there is no command line argument at all then try to open a new
    # window in an already running instance.
    if [ "${ALREADY_RUNNING}" -eq "1" ] && [ -z "$1" ]; then
      exec $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM_PARAM "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)" 2>/dev/null>/dev/null
    fi
