 |
|
When i try starting a second or third instance of firefox, it pops up that manage profiles box. I found that it's the lock file that causes all the problems.
Anyone else got this problem?
How can i stop firefox making lock files?
What is the point?
Is there an extension that deals with them? |

It happens to everyone, I just don't see it as a problem because I don't open multiple instances of Firefox.
There isn't a way to, as far as I know.
To keep you from running multiple instances of Firefox when you could just do File>New Window
Not that I know of. |

Except that this is an issue on dual head/screen systems. I can not get firefox to run on both screens at the same time... |
