On possible answer but it's not completely right...A friend suggested one approach.
A friend suggested one approach. Just save this into a file and call it something.html (in my case it's zimbra.html):

Code:
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" > window.open('http://email.mydomain.com', 'Zimbra', config='height=768,width=1024,status=yes') </SCRIPT>

That brings up my web mail app in a popup window. But it also opens a new browser tab or window in my running browser first for the zimbra.html document. I also tried launching it from the command line like this:
Code:
'firefox -browser /home/deckard/Desktop/zimbra.html &'

That opened up the app in a popup first. Then it opened a new blank browser window for the zimbra.html file. So I'm close but not there yet...
