# When I try to launch Firefox from the command line with a profile that is already running, I get an error reported to mu GUI:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile."
# From the terminal I get the following error:

# My $DBUS_SESSION_ BUS_ADDRESS reports thus from the terminal:
._. echo $DBUS_SESSION_ BUS_ADDRESS /run/user/ 1000/bus
unix:path=
# also, note:
._. echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
/run/user/1000
# systemd seems to think $DBUS_SESSION_ BUS_ADDRESS is not set, so systemd --user gets an error:
._. sudo systemd --user
Trying to run as user instance, but $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set.
# syslog seems to report no problems when Firefox is called. It runs with uid 1000.
# I have attached reports generated from: SNAPD_DEBUG=1 snap run firefox --profile-manager
# it does appear to have user value 1000 set
I would be grateful for any pointers.
