firefox: choose a profile
fresh install of fedora 9 x86_64. Firefox is the default browser. Every attempt to open the link from any application outside the firefox (homepage link in About window of any program, link from email message in thunderbird, conversation window in pidgin) brings up the firefox profile chooser window, asking what profile do you want to use?. Obviously, selecting the current profile does not work because it is currently in use o_O Copy-paste the links into firefox's address bar works, but having to do that every time is extremely annoying. yes, I've seen such things before, and most of us had to write our own firefox-remote script to enjoy the flawless work, but it was like... in 2004!!! I thought this thing has been solved for some time now. googling brings nothing -- apparently I'm the only one with this problem under F9. Any suggestions? -- regards, Oleksandr Korneta I'm running F9 x86_64 and F8 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter. /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Quit all open copies of firefox delete the file... ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/$SOME_SALTED_HASH/.parentlock This is the file that makes it think your profile ^^ is in use.

Craig Thanks, problem solved. which one? Was Craig referring to your problem or mine, because the threads seem to be messed up? -- regards, Oleksandr Korneta I'm running F9 x86_64 and F8 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter. /The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from./ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
