Guest Owdy Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 If i want to start another firefox, it ask me to create new profile because default is in use. How i work around this? It annoying when you click link in email and firefox starts asking that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustom Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Hmmm, thats funny. Mine doesn't ask me to do that, just click exit or whatever. Shouldn't ask it again. Btw, you can have mulitple windows inside firefox, just press ctrl+t or if you wanna click on a link, and for it to open in another tab. Just use your mousewheel *click* (push down on ur mouse wheel) good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaschtroumpf Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I have a similar problem note that if I open a new window from firefox itself, (by right clicking on a link for example) it works fine. I downloaded the install script from the firefox website, didn't installit through urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I just go to file, then new window and it opens another one without asking me to create another profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I just go to file, then new window and it opens another one without asking me to create another profile. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the question remains, why does it complain when you try to launch another instance from the icon?

nocturnes Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 It complains because you are trying to launch a second instance of the program under a single user profile. Opening a new window once Firefox is running works by opening it as a sub-window for the same user. Trying to open it again from ./firefox is opening it as a seperate user. As the same user: {./firefox{window1{window2}}} When relaunching: {./firefox} {./firefox} You are really trying to run the binary twice at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tolne57 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 It's a known bug and will be fixed in v1.0 of firefox. In fact it is already fix in the nightly builds if you want to get one of those. Otherwise you can use the script provided here and replace ur exisiting firefox script: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177996#c91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
