[Bug 917533] Re: cannot open links from Thunderbird in Firefox 9.0.1

[Mike Berkley]

I found the problem, and it is with Firefox 9.

The meaning of the "-no-remote" option has changed from "Open in a new
instance" to "Open in a new instance AND DO NOT ACCEPT REMOTE
CONNECTIONS."  This means that if you want URL links to work in
Thunderbird and to use multiple Firefox profiles at the same time, the
first Firefox instance must to be running without "-no-remote".  The
rest can be run with "-no-remote".  Or use Google-Chrome for URL links
in Thunderbird.

See the following Mozilla bug.

I think we can close this Ubuntu bug, but leave it to document the
upstream problem.
