firefox -remote openURL\(www.mutt.org,new-tab\)
Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable

but:
firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.mutt.org,new-tab)'
works

firefox -remote openURL('http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/',new-tab)...
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('

It seems like it doesn't like the single '' between in URL
