 When the torbrowser is normally running and I try to open another link
 from another application or from the command line, instead of openning the
 link in the running instance as it is usually the case for firefox, I can
 see a separate window with the following message:

 Tor Browser is already running, but is not responding. To open a new
 window, you must first close the existing Tor Browser process, or restart
 your system.

 If I close torbrowser and try to open the link again with closed browser,
 it opens just fine. But the second link makes the same window.

 I found the similar bugreport #12941, but in that case the window appears
 when the browser is not running. It's never the case for me.

 I use www-client/torbrowser-31.6.0_p450 from torbrowser Gentoo overlay.
