I have installed X-Firefox in the winPenPack Net menu (winPenPack Launcher Version: 2.8.67.2350). In the configuration menu I have highlighted X-Firefox. Then I clicked on the key F5. In the now appearing dialog window "Properties" I have chosen the tab "Protocols". In the tab "Protocols" I activated the check mark next to "Http/Https".

After starting of my standard email client (Microsoft Outlook 2007) I received an error message when I have clicked on a link within an email. Here is the content of this error message:

"Firefox" e gia in esecuzione

How can I open a link successfully?

If you try to use another browser ( i.e. X-Iron ) do you have the same result?

As recommended I've installed the browser X-Iron. With this browser I can easily open multiple links.

With X-Firefox I can only open a link when X-Firefox is not running (see the above error message). Accordingly it's also impossible to open more than one link at the same time. This behavior seems to be a bug in X-Firefox.

Hi dropper,
I solved this issue with a modification in "x-firefox.ini"

in "OPTIONS" section try changing:


MultipleIstances=false


MultipleIstances=true

Anyway, be careful with this modification in you have also a LEGACY INSTALLED version of firefox in the same PC.
The risk is: when you close X-Firefox, if existing a LEGACY profile folder (located in% AppData%), all these data could be irreversibly deleted!
Our suggestion is to activate this option only if you are sure that the computer on which you use X-Firefox is NOT hosting an existing installation of Firefox
