It's because conkeror using xulrunner isn't firefox anymore.
If you're using recent conkeror (not the firefox extension), 
you can use:
conkeror http://slashdot.org
This will open a new window of conkeror with the provided url.

In addition maybe you will be interested in these settings
for your RC file (set it in help page C-h i)

conkeror.daemon_mode (1);
conkeror.url_remoting_fn = conkeror.find_url_new_buffer;

The first one let's conkeror running if you close a frame
instead of quitting, therefore will open new window/links
quite quickly.
The second will open the url passed in command line in a
new buffer instead of a new frame (window) if there is any
frame already open.

Hope this may help you.
