I'm not entirely familiar with AppleScript, but I was looking to open a brand new default window. Here's a method that works:

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Firefox"
        click menu item "New Window" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
    end tell
end tell

Optionally, to focus on the new window, add these lines afterward:

tell application "Firefox"
    activate
end tell

This will open a default new window. There may be a better way.
