# I have this problem on a fresh install:

Xubuntu 22.04
Firefox 113.0.2 (snap)

# 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:

._. firefox -P default "https://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=3097766"
ATTENTION: default value of option mesa_glthread overridden by environment.

# My $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS reports thus from the terminal:

._. echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus

# 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.
