Bug Description
Since upgraded to Eoan I have issues opening an URL from within other applications.
It starts:
/usr/lib/
But while in Disco it just opened a new tab in firefox when it was already running, I now get an error message that firefox is still running and I need to close it.
This while it should just open an additional tab with the URL I clicked.
