145127 - Quitting on detecting another running instance needs to change.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 175868

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect)

Description

[Conrad Carlen (not reading bugmail)]

This bit of code
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/xpfe/bootstrap/nsNativeAppSupportMac.cpp#274
was needed before bug 76431 was checked in. Now, as long as the two versions
have that, this is not needed.

The current behavior is *really* frustrating: If I have mozilla already running
but NS is set to be the default browser and I click a link in another app, I
just get this %$@! dialog forcing me to quit. Then, I have to go back and
manually copy the link into the browser that *is* running. I would happily have
separate profiles for the two and then be able to work around this by choosing
the profile that was not in use.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Dup - and the good news is that it's fixed :-)
