Work-around for Firefox is already running, but is not responding

Submitted by kleinfelter on November 9, 2006 - 9:04am

I ran into the infamous message, "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."

I had no trouble starting a single instance of Firefox Portable, but once Firefox was running, if I did something like

Start/Run/k:\Portable\FirefoxPortable.exe http://www.google.com/ig

intending for it to open the link in the existing Firefox window, I got the message. I had set "AllowMultipleInstances=true" in FirefoxPortable.ini.

In *my* case, setting it to "AllowMultipleInstances=false" made the error go away. I was running FP2-RC3. I post this info in case someone else can use the info.

Local FF to PFF

Submitted by sailfree on November 7, 2006 - 8:18pm

I've read the instructions for transferring FF settings to Portable FF. When I navigate to Firefox\Profiles I don't find \default.??? Do I simply copy the contents of my Firefox 2.0 profiles folder to the Portable Firefox profile folder? Thanks.
