Could you please attach the compatibility.ini from your profile?

That is the profile.ini from the firefox-4.0 folder, i hope it is the
correct one, there is no profile.ini in my profile sub-folder.

I have the same bug. If I kill xulapp-profilemigrator, Firefox 4 will start correctly (it asks me which profile to launch).
But then, if I click on a link from another app, the same problem will happen: xulapp-profilemigrator will block the link from opening in firefox-4.0 (although it is already launched), but if I kill it, the link opens.

My compatibility.ini file is similar, except this:
LastVersion=4.0b8pre_20101112083320/20101112083320
LastOSABI=Linux_x86-gcc3

Hmmm, this doesn't make sense. Any chance either of you could tar up the
contents of ~/.mozilla and send it to me?
