Public bug reported:
I usually have two firefox instances running, started as:
firefox -P work
firefox -P default --no-remote --new-window
Up until the last update (39.0+build5-0ubuntu0.15.04.1) this worked
fine. Now, clicking on a link (in, say Thunderbird) gives me the
"Firefox is already running, but not responding" dialog.
With just one instance running, clicking on a link still works, so it
appears to be a problem with having more than one.
Trying the above with "-safe-mode" has the same problem, so this is not
extension-related.
