Yes. Very clever, but I find it quite annoying :)

/usr/bin/mozilla is a shell script. It works out if there is a mozilla
running (seems to do so with some X magic...), and if it finds one, will
open a new window from that running mozilla.

I invoke , "/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin" to open a /new/ copy of
mozilla.
