JabRef version

5.7 (latest release)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

Debian 11 with Mate Desktop

Checked with the latest development build

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Just import any reference using the JabRef-Brower-Extension. In my case, with Firefox.

Appendix

Whenever importing a reference using the JabRef-Browser-Extension (latest version of JabRef and extension) another new instance of JabRef is opened, independent of whether another instance of JabRef is running or not. As a result, every reference import opens an additional instance of JabRef, so several instances will run in parallel. Ticking the setting in Network -> Listen for remote operation on port 6050 does not have any effect (Is this setting still in use?) The same happens, when JabRef is run from source, then another instance will start from the installed binary version.
