[Bug 12097] Re: mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance
7 years later, I have this bug in Hirsute ! (or at least the same symptoms: I click on a mailto link and a window named “close Thunderbird” appears, with the message : “Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile.” Firefox version 89.0 (64bits) Thunderbird version 78.8.1 (64 bits) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12097 Title: mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/12097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note: this is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1084993 and applies to at least Windows and Linux.

The bug is still present in Ubuntu when MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is set (i.e., when you use multiple profiles). The workaround #18 does not work anymore on Natty because Preferred applications are now hardcoded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12097 Title: mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/12097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed this is a Linux issue Wayne, which is why it was reported for the x86 Linux platform. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12097 Title: mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/12097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm experiencing this bug in Windows. The config parameter network .protocol-handler.app.mailto is not used by Firefox in Windows, and the Options-Applications dialog is too user-friendly to allow command- line arguments or textual paths -- the only two options are selecting apps from drop-down lists and finding them in a graphical file browser. Any ideas? \-: Thanks in advance. -- mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 12097] Re: mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance
I am also experiencing this bug in Karmic with updated thunderbird and firefox. I discovered that the problem is that I am running firefox with --no-remote option. It seems that this enables the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE, which affects thunderbird also. Running thunderbird with env -u MOZ_NO_REMOTE solves the bug for me. Actually, I find quite strange that this env variable is common to both programs, since they are completely independent processes and have independent profiles. -- mailto link always attempts to open a fresh thunderbird instance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/12097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
