Ah ... good, so it isn't a general problem.
I sortof was hoping that we'd have an excuse to push out thunderbird 2.0.
Actually, I was hoping that RedHat was push out thunderbird along with firefox,
but no such luck.
I'm glad you got it fixed.

Hi,
I made use of the excuse to upgrade to SL 5.2 (from 5.1) which gets
Thunderbird 2.0.x among hundreds
of other things. But this didn't solve the problem.
At the end, I've realized that my .cshrc (which did no harm before) has
setenv MOZ_NO_REMOTE 1
which causes Firefox 3.0.1 not want to start with the message reported.
Turning it off would solve the problem.

Hi,
I've been using SL 5.1 with Firefox 1.5.x and Thunderbird
(thunderbird-1.5.0.12-12.el5) for a while (workingfine).
I could click a http link (for example) and start Firefox in a new tab
in the browser.
After last night's yum update, Firefox 3.0.1 has replaced the old
Firefox 1.5.x . I can use firefox without problem.
But now if I click a http link (say) when there is Firefox, it'd
complain :
Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window,
you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your
system.
If I close the Firefox, it'd start a new one. But if I click another
http link, it'd make the same complaint and I have to close
Firefox (or I can copy and paste the link to Firefox).
In thunderbird about:config, network.protocol-handler.app.http has
pointed to "/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.12/open-browser.sh" and it had
worked fine before until now Firefox 3.0.1 comes.
I've tried to replace that open-browser.sh with firefox etc. Nothing
works and the same error message persists.
( I've stupidly deleted old profiles in firefox/thunderbird (as I'm
desperate) but of course they were not the problem. )
It looks like to me that open-browser.sh in 1.5 Thunderbird is not
updated with Firefox 3.0.1 ...
Any ideas and help ?

Hi,
I've been using thunderbird 2.0 from SL 5.2, and don't see that
problem. I'll double check and see if it is a thunderbird 1.5 vs
thunderbird 2.0 problem.
