I don't create custom .desktop file with `-new-instance` for FF but still get the "already running error" when trying to open "mailto:"; links while TB is open. How is that? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711305 Title: Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding.

Instead of using the thunderbird that's already open it tries to open a new instance. Preferred Applications has Thunderbird select, but I have also tried Custom command "thunderbird %s".
