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>

Code:
'firefox -browser /home/deckard/Desktop/zimbra.html &'
