Bug 233679: www/firefox 63.0.3_3,1 command line times out with errors
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233679



--- Description ---
After updating Firefox on 2018-11-30 the command line will no longer open an
URL. It just times out after a minute with both an error message and an error
dialog. This break Firefox integration with all other desktop Apps.

The system is:
  % uname -v
  FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Nov 27 09:33:52 UTC 2018     root at amd64- 
builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC

Firefox 63.0.3_3,1 is running and in terminal the following command is entered:

  % time firefox www.hinet.net			  
  JavaScript error:
jar:file:///usr/local/lib/firefox/omni.ja!/components/XULStore.js, line 60:
Error: Can't find profile directory.
  firefox www.hinet.net  0.62s user 0.30s system 1% cpu 1:03.84 total

Along with above error get the following Dialog:

  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 close Firefox and revert to older Firefox 63.0.1,1:

  % pkg remove -f firefox
  % pkg add /var/cache/pkg/firefox-63.0.1,1-b9137a62c5.txz

Firefox restarted
Now I can open URLs by command line:

  % time firefox www.hinet.net
  firefox www.hinet.net  0.03s user 0.01s system 22% cpu 0.215 total

A new tab is open very quickly in the running Firefox.
