Bug Description
From https:/
I'm having trouble opening links from Thunderbird in Firefox 9.0.1, and discovered that the problem is with Firefox.
Consider the following command:
firefox http://
If Firefox is already running, this should open the web site in a new tab or window. With 9.0.1, it opens the ProfileManager (I have multiple profiles). If I force a particular profile (with "-P default"), it tells me that "Firefox is already running."
I did an ssh into another machine, and started firefox-3.6.24 with "-no-remote". Now I have two Firefox sessions running, v9.0.1 on my workstation and v3.6.24 on a remote machine. Then, when I run "firefox http://
Any ideas how to fix this? I cannot roll out v9.0.1 to all my Thunderbird users until this issue is resolved...

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. I tested this with a clean profile in Firefox and clicked on a link from Thunderbird twice and it opened in the same instance without issue. This was only with the local Firefox, I have not tested the remote case. Do you experience this issue with a clean profile?
