when i try to open profilemanager.app i get a message saying that a copy is already open [os 10.6.8 -ff 3.6.2, 4.0.1, 8.0.1]
i have been trying to open jgriffin's stand alone profilemanager.app for an embarassingly long time [over a month] with no success. i have downloaded every iteration of the app from the first beta to the stable release. each time i try to open it i get pop up warning saying “a copy of profilemanager is already open. only one copy of profilemanager can be open at a time.” i have combed through the developer’s blog, mozillazine articles and mozilla support for an answer. all to no avail.
if anyone has an a solution to this conundrum that they are willing to share, i will be forever in their debt.
please be advised that i am a relative newcomer to the internal mysteries of snow leopard when suggesting solutions.
thank you.

Do you get that same error if you try to open the regular Profile Manager via a terminal window?
no i don't. i am not adept at using terminal. i am sometimes able to open the old profile manager with terminal, sometimes not, but i never get the copy already open message.
thanks.
