Hello everyone,
As of T7289, I want to make a new Desktop Action which allows to open a new tab on Mozilla Firefox. It can easily be done using firefox --new-tab.
There is already a pending request on their bug tracker [0].
However, this issue is rather old and has not been fixed. As such, I think it will be faster to integrate it to Solus directly.
So if Solus devs approve my request, then I would be very happy to provide you the necessary patch.

Unfortunately it does not appear that --new-tab in fact opens up a new tab, at least in 63.0.3-145, whether it's using --new-window to open up the instance or not.

You're right, by default, --new-tab has a strange behaviour.
However, if you run firefox --new-tab about:newtab, it runs as excepted.

Can confirm it works as expected. @kyrios123 Let's get this added to the Desktop Actions in files/firefox.desktop for your 64.0 patch.
Update Actions to Actions=new-window;new-private-window;new-tab;
Add the following after the new-private-window desktop action (with a new line between them):
[Desktop Action new-tab] Name=Open a New Tab Exec=firefox --new-tab about:newtab
