[ BUILD # : 200807280848 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

This one has been bugging me for a while, but when I submit a bug
report from the NetBeans UI Gesture Collector, the report gets
submitted, then I receive an error message that Firefox cannot be
executed because it is already running.

While I know the message is coming from Firefox, it indicates that
NetBeans is issuing the wrong command to startup firefox if it is
already running.

Reassigning to "logger" for evaluation.

Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2008-10-03 18:00:04 UTC

logger is using services of external browser, this must be a sign of some problem there.

Comment 3 Peter Zavadsky 2008-10-03 18:25:31 UTC

Could you, please, provide the error message (or log file is better), also check whether you didn't alter the command
line (go to Tools | Options | Main tab.. and while selected the firefox, press Edit... to see what is there). Thanks.
