I could reproduce this some months ago, and this is a known issue as
noticed by Michael:
- start CM from your desktop
- go in Firefox 19+ (IIRC but I'm not sure) and click a mailto: link

Firefox invokes CM w/ a different TMPDIR (/var/tmp) than the default
one used by the desktop (/tmp). The second instance will *not* find a
lock where it looks to, starting over.

I'm not really sure about the version of Firefox, but I noticed this
behavior after I applied a Firefox update.


Regards,
