How can I open a BLANK new tab in an existing firefox window from the linux cli?
On the cli, there is a 'firefox -new-tab [url]' option that works as expected. Is there a [chrome:] url or the like which could be passed to the -new-tab option that would open a blank page?
Also, I intuitively expected that 'firefox -new-tab' (without specifying a url) should do this, and was very surprised to learn that it doesn't. How should I go about suggesting that that feature be added?

You need to specify an URL like about:blank for a blank tab.
firefox -new-tab about:blank
