Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Mozilla Labs :: Prism, defect)

[Angus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007110108 prism/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a9pre) Gecko/2007110108 prism/0.8

I used to open multiple webapps at the same time, where they share the single xulrunner.exe

But one day I always prompt "Prism is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Prism process, or restart the system."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall Prism, delete all prism profiles, then fresh install Prism
2. Create two separate webapps.
3. Run the first webapp
4. Run the second webapp
Actual Results:  
A dialog prompted "Prism is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Prism process, or restart the system."

Expected Results:  
Two webapp should be able to open at the same time

Sounds like Mozilla profiles.  I wonder if we can tell the profile manager to create a profile just for this session, and junk it when we're done...

The same thing happens in Firefox when you have launched it with MOZ_NO_REMOTE - maybe related?

yes, finally i found out that I set the MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0 in system environment variable, it works fine after I remove it
