export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1. 
Comment 2 Christian Marie (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-18 19:01:55 UTC
Closing via Anarchy.
Comment 3 Trevor Forbes 2006-12-19 02:54:02 UTC
The whole firefox, Gentoo  and running on two heads is still a kludge. The symptoms have changed over the last year, but the behavior is still wrong. The Gentoo wrapper launch script is the problem last I looked... Its a "worksforme NOT"

Using the example command in each head helps but is still not a fix.. 
/usr/bin/firefox %U -D:1 -P Default1

AFAICT export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 is no solution

When I get time I will look at it deeper and open a new bug

If your not happy with gentoo then move along. NOONE is forcing you to stay. You should learn more about what is happening before you start your bitching. The same will happen even in -bin.

So you know what is better for mozilla products then upstream. Take your complaint upstream then.

Bug will still be closed as invalid I done told you how to use the fix that upstream has provided.

NOONE said I was not happy with Gentoo... 

It does not happen in bin.
