I have a basic launcher set up for testing and it works. If chrome or firefox is closed the app opens and displays the web page, but if the browser is already open the launcher freezes, at least until the browser is closed again. Is there any way of having advanced launcher open up a new tab if the browser is already running?That's a strange behavior, but that's not related to Advanced Launcher. Advanced launcher only execute a command line. It this command line make your system freeze, that's mean that there is something wrong with the web browsers on your system.
To avoid this you can execute a script, prior to start your web browser, that will close any opened web browser instance then restart it.
It must be a mac thing then, I have 2 macs and the problem is the same on both... I'll look in to the script suggestion thanks.

If you send any command line telling a web broser to open a webpage, and that this web browser is already open, the web browser will open the webpage but without taking the focus. If you want a web broser open a webpage and take focus, this web browser must be closed. The other way to proceed is to create a script that will force the web browser to take focus... but I do not know how you could do this on MAC.
whether the web browser is open or closed this makes no difference, well not exactly if it's closed the browser will start and open the web page but in the background, and if it's closed xbmc will hang until the browser is closed, then execute the command and open the browser in the background!
