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)

    • Pretty sure you will be happy with the result, good luck and take it slow!
    • Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
