--- Begin Message ---Package: firefox-esr Version: 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Upgrading to 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1 * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Attempted to open a link by clicking on it in a terminal emulator. * What was the outcome of this action? A dialog appeared saying "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." * What outcome did you expect instead? That firefox would open the link, as it would do until recently. There's no problem if I run firefox in my own account. The trouble appears to be that firefox no longer responds to such requests while running as another user under sudo, which I've been doing for the last decade or so for extra safety, <https://calum.org/posts/running-firefox-as-another-user-using-sudo>. Is there a way to make it work again, please, pretty please? -- Package-specific info: -- Extensions information Name: Add-ons Search Detection Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Amazon.co.uk Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Amazon.com Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Bing Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Dark theme Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: user-disabled Name: DoH Roll-Out Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: DuckDuckGo Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: eBay Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Firefox Alpenglow theme Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: user-disabled Name: Firefox Screenshots Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Form Autofill Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Google Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Light theme Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: user-disabled Name: Picture-In-Picture Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: System theme — auto theme Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: Web Compatibility Interventions Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled Name: WebCompat Reporter Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/[email protected] Package: firefox-esr Status: user-disabled Name: Wikipedia (en) Location: /usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/omni.ja Package: firefox-esr Status: enabled -- Addons package information ii firefox-esr 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1 amd64 Mozilla Firefox web browser - Extended Support Release (ESR) -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-18-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages firefox-esr depends on: ii debianutils 4.11.2 ii fontconfig 2.13.1-4.2 ii libasound2 1.2.4-1.1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-2 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u4 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-5 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.20-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.110-6 ii libevent-2.1-7 2.1.12-stable-1 ii libffi7 3.3-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-4.2 ii libfreetype6 2.10.4+dfsg-1+deb11u1 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.24-4+deb11u2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.46.2-3 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libvpx6 1.9.0-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.7.2-1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.14-3 ii libxcb1 1.14-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.5-1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.5-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1.1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-2 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.1-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii procps 2:3.3.17-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-2+deb11u2 Versions of packages firefox-esr recommends: ii libavcodec58 7:4.3.4-0+deb11u1 Versions of packages firefox-esr suggests: ii fonts-lmodern 2.004.5-6.1 pn fonts-stix | otf-stix <none> ii libcanberra0 0.30-7 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.18.3-6+deb11u2 ii pulseaudio 14.2-2 -- no debconf information
