10.4.11 server, WGM, 10.4.11 clients -- I was going to switch from
Safari to Firefox as my main browser. I think someone mentioned this
issue before -- when I try to launch firefox on 2 computers or for
the 2nd time on the same computer, I get the message "a copy of
firefox is already open....." any ideas on the solution to this
problem?
Are you using network home directories and having everyone log in
with the same user? If so, then this is expected behavior. Firefox is
trying to save you form the problems that can occur when multiple
processes try to write to the same files at the same time. Firefox is
not the problem, it is just warning you not to do something you should
already not be doing.
Either use local home directories, or separate accounts (for each
computer if not for each user). There are undoubtably better solutions
to the problems you are trying to solve by having everyone log into
the same user.
