Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.0.4-1
Severity: important
I have the following xorg setup,
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1920x1080_60 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Videocard1"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "metamodes" "1280x1024_60 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
One display is "LeftOf" the other. They are on separate display
adapters. It works great. I can start iceweasel on one display
multiple times - either one works. But as soon as I want to start it
on *both* displays so it is running at the same time, I get the
message,
"Iceweasel is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
window, you must first close the existing Iceweasel process, or
restart your system."

You can't safely use the same profile for 2 different instances of
iceweasel. One may overwrite the other's profile information (think
browsing history, form auto-fill, ssl certificates, etc.) which you
don't want to happen. You need to use different profiles if you run
iceweasel on different displays, or change the X configuration to use
only one display with two heads.
Cheers,
Mike
