Package: firefox-esr
Version: 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading to 102.3.0esr-1~deb11u1
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Attempted to open a link by clicking on it in a terminal emulator.
* What was the outcome of this action?
A dialog appeared saying "Firefox is already running, but is not
responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox
process, restart your device, or use a different profile."
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That firefox would open the link, as it would do until recently.
There's no problem if I run firefox in my own account. The trouble
appears to be that firefox no longer responds to such requests while
running as another user under sudo, which I've been doing for the last
decade or so for extra safety,

Is there a way to make it work again, please, pretty please?
