Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
In apport reporting a bug of displayconfig-gtk results in the following error message:
(Window Title:) CLOSE
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
There is no crash, so I cannot submit a crash report.
This also happens, when firefox gets started from a non-existent directory:
TESTCASE:
1. firefox
2. mkdir /tmp/foo
3. cd /tmp/foo
4. rmdir /tmp/foo
5. firefox

Hi,
Can you please provide the output of the following commands:
gconftool --get /desktop/ gnome/url- handlers/ http/command
firefox -new-window http:// ubuntu. com
gnome-open http:// ubuntu. com
Also, was firefox unresponsive when you received that
message? Was it open?
Has reporting a bug using that method ever worked for you?
Thanks,
James
