I've had this problem since I started running you builds.

This happens when ever I click a link to download something. In this picture I was trying to download your Firefox_SSE2_O2_GAL7_20050702.exe. It's supposed to ask where to save file. Using "Save As" option works fine.

Any ideas what's wrong?

Running Firefox_SSE2_O2_GAL7_20050702-build on windows2000@sp4.

Just wondering is it normal for the optimized build to not be able to run multiple "instances" of Firefox?

i.e. Running Firefox again would not open another FF window, but give that error message "Firefox is already running..."

Running it with different profiles simultaneously still works though.

(Some setting I'm overlooking?)

It should be working, yes. It works fine for me. You may want to try a new profile and see if the problem persists.

Yup, my bad. It started working with new profile. It's been a long time since the last time I encountered problems because of old profile. Thanks for the help;)

I'm pretty sure I know which build option it is. Once I can verify it, I'll change it.

Hey man, according to another builder, this behavior is default even in the nightly builds. Nothing I can do. To be fair, though, when I click my shortcut with firefox open, it simply opens a new window.

Well I figured out my problem.

It seems I can't launch firefox windows from shortcut if I have the MOZ_NO_REMOTE environment variable activated globally.

[since I use firefox with multiple profiles, as a quick and light single window browser, and also as a power browser at the same time]

Luckily, I can just use the batch file way, since I finally figured out how to finally have the batch file run and close instead of staying open until I close the executed firefox. (wasn't using start)

    • No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • Does it have couch co-op is the question I have here.
