I've only lurked on the list so far, and I'm not a Textmate expert,  
but I do know how to read code...

If you use the bundle editor to look at the command, you will see  
that the command uses applescript to get a list of running  
applications.  Then it tries to match against this list of names  
(Webkit, Safari, Shiira, Firefox, Internet Explorer, OmniWeb, Camino  
and Xyle scope).  In the case of Firefox, the internal app name is  
'firefox-bin' which doesn't match the name the script is looking for  
if the match is case sensitive.  Also, in firefox's case it tells the  
app to add a tab to window 1 to show the url in.  If there is no open  
window, this will fail.

This brings me to my newbie question.  What is the best method for  
submitting suggested patches to bundles?
