Consider the following command: firefox http://www.ubuntu.com If Firefox is already running, this should open the web site in a new tab or window. With 9.0.1, it opens the ProfileManager (I have multiple profiles). If I force a particular profile (with "-P default"), it tells me that "Firefox is already running." I did an ssh into another machine, and started firefox-3.6.24 with "-no-remote". Now I have two Firefox sessions running, v9.0.1 on my workstation and v3.6.24 on a remote machine. Then, when I run "firefox http://www.ubuntu.com"; in an xterm on my workstation. Lo and behold, www.ubuntu.com is opened on the remote Firefox v3.6.24, NOT on the local Firefox v9.0.1, which was actually started first. Any ideas how to fix this? I cannot roll out v9.0.1 to all my Thunderbird users until this issue is resolved...
