I'm having the same problem as Yuping with slightly different versions, but opening Firefox using the "...firefox-bin -jssh" command suggested above does not fix my issue. I'm running slightly older versions:
Mac OS X 10.5.8 Firefox 3.5.9 jssh-3.5.x-Darwin-param.xpi I too get the "RuntimeError: Firefox is running without -jssh" error and port 9997 does not appear to be opening. Do I need Mac OS X 10.6 in order to open Firefox with arguments? Any suggestions?
