a good start would be to apply the improved warning of bug 278860 multiple profile handling to the case of -no-remote when profile is already in use.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 308605] Re: [MASTER]Firefox is already running message
I consider this inability to open an URL in an already running profile as a work stoppage. There are many other software packages now, in their menu bar item Help, within the pulldown menu list there are items that actually invoke the default web browser in order to display their documentation, FAQ, user manual, and other web pages. A possible fix to reduce this work stoppage to a work around available, is for the pop up error message to contain the URL that is being attempted to be opened. That way, users could copy and paste the URL into an new Firefox window or tab, and get the valuable information on that web page's URL for that version of the software. Also, any other options would be nice to see displayed by the error message. Truly, the wording of the pop up error message could be rewritten to be self explanatory. Hiding Firefox profiles is likely a motivation for not doing this. So, I suggest there be two errors, the original one, when there is no profile.ini entries (just one default profile), but for those who use profiles, change the error message, to include the name of running profile that was attempted. And provide a button to select an unrunning profile (unlocked) to satisfy the requested URL. Only those users currently using profiles would get the second wording, thus keeping the rest of the Firefox users in the dark. This button could merely start the Profile Manager, which would have to then pass on any options to the new instance, to honor the requested options. Thus, two keeping the number of code lines down, easing debugging. I'm not sure if the rest of this comment is directly applicable, but here it is. /etc/alternatives does not have a way to specify command line options, so "-no-remote -P profilenamehere" is not available. Sure, this would be 'fix' to update-alternatives functionality. At issue is when the default web browser is firefox, firefox starts up the profile.ini default profile, and I really do not want to use the default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308605 Title: [MASTER]Firefox is already running message Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I close Firefox and start it again I get the following message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 308605] Re: [MASTER]Firefox is already running message
Hi, Not that I understand how this bugs are being handled, anyway, but just to ask whether I understand the recent change: With FireFox versions nearing the 20, the continued validity of this bug report for 15 versions is deemed less important because on the historical version it was reported for some five years ago, it's no longer valid for some reason? Interestingly, while the design error that doesn't let you retry is still found in all versions of FireFox, the implementation error that causes the frequent occurrence of this seems to be limited to Ubuntu installed versions. Those versions I got from Mozilla for beta-testing don't seem to block, but the updates coming from Ubuntu which have the same Mozilla FireFox version number still do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308605 Title: [MASTER]Firefox is already running message Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I close Firefox and start it again I get the following message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding.
