[Bug 693396] Re: firefox refuses to start and pretend to be already running

 

@Charlie Kravetz
It looks like the recent change from Triaged to Fix Released was in error. Since only triagers/developers can set Triaged status, it looks like it falls on you to fix this.

Title:
  firefox refuses to start and pretend to be already running

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Here are the messages 
  Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

  (firefox-bin:2686): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
  Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0xb4948d60)" of type `GString'

  I have had to find the way for changing default browser in order to be
  abble to send this report (with firefow as default, no report could be
  sent.

  My system results from an update of xubuntu 904 to xubuntu 910

  Maybe  the minor environment error about colour installation results in a wrong error treatment doubling the call to firefox ??
  Note that thunderbird also pretends to be called twice but does start 
  (thunderbird-bin:3006): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
