Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

alert message
Description of problem:
Select multiple Google documents and click on "Open with Google Docs".
Only one Firefox window is opened, for every other window there is an error message that Firefox is already running.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-documents-3.14.3-3.el7.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.login to Google account via goa
2.open gnome-documents
3.select 2 or 3 google documents with right click
4.Click "Open with Google Docs"
Actual results:
Firefox window with document appears, afterwards 1 or 2 windows with alert message, that you should close Firefox (see screenshot).
Expected results:
Documents should open Firefox window with several tabs for each document.
Additional info:
Make sure that Firefox is not running when you try to open documents, in that case documents are opened in existing Firefox window in new tabs.
Firefox is unable to handle a large number of incoming URI arguments while it is starting up. For example, see the attached standalone reproducer which tries to open 50 URIs one after the other.
I am not sure gnome-documents (or any other application) can reliably work around it. We could add a timeout but that's just going to be racy. Depending on the nature of the system, it will either make things slower than they need to be, or won't be slow enough.
I tried the same reproducer with Epiphany on Fedora. While it managed to freeze my system for a while (almost 6 year old laptop with spinning HDD), it did open all 50 of those URIs.
So, I will hesitantly blame Firefox for this one.
