[Conkeror] firefox remote protocol in conkeror?

[Mark Eichin]

OK.  At this point I'm happy to reconfigure all the other apps that
open urls, as long as I know that that's the right thing to do.

(I like the url_remoting_fn tip - that's probably one of the biggest
benefits (from my perspective) of switching to the xulrunner app :-)
daemon_mode is less interesting because I never actually close all the
windows...)
