[Bug 991373] [NEW] Ubiquity always attempts to open a new Firefox process

[Daniel Case]

Public bug reported:

Hey,

While ubiquity was installing, I had firefox open and on a web page. I
went back to the installer to see some interesting links, attempted to
click but got a message saying that firefox is already open. It doesn't
seem to take into account when FF is already open and always attempts to
launch a new process (and fails)

I've attached a visual image of the bug as well.
