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?
This will delete the parent lock and then launch firefox.
The problem with this approach is that it is just ignoring the
underlying problem: more than one copy of Firefox is trying to use the
same configuration files at the same time. Your method is just
tricking Firefox into doing this, without addressing the reasons that
the Firefox developers put these safety precautions into place in the
first place.
It sounds like someone has been over-creative in how the network home
directories were setup, and so despite being separate logins, they are
all sharing the same Firefox configuration files. This is something
that the original poster either does not know about, or neglected to
mention in the post. Re-thining the setup is the better solution here,
not bypassing a system that is doing its job.
