[Bug 1332226] [NEW] sensible-browser opens a new chromium even if one is already running

[Clint Byrum]

Public bug reported:

This fails terribly because the new chromium cannot lock the profile and
just generally doesn't work well. sensible-browser should be opening a
new window in an existing instance of a browser.
