google-chrome
on yosemite i now get chrome error when clicking link from skype or using alfred to open customized urls. the links and custom urls fail to open and instead I am presented with a dialog that says 'The application google chrome is not open anymore', even though the application is open.
any ideas what may be causing this issue?
You can try using the AppleScript found on this page.
I just tried it out and it perfectly works fine in Chrome 12.0.742.122.
It's extremely easy to set up:
OpenUrlInNewChromeWindow
Here's a few things I would try:
Do basic system maintenance (repair permissions, clean caches, run daily-weekly-monthly maintenance scripts). I like ONYX (http://bit.ly/eCzYfj) for doing this, but there are plenty of other options that do the same thing.
Make sure you have at least 20% free disk space. If not, try clean up and free some space.
If things are still slow, try creating a new user account and logging in with that. If that account runs much better you still have some cleanup to do.
Check your login items (in system preferences, User & Groups). If there are login items you don't recognize/need try disabling them.
I would also look into investing in at least a 2MB memory upgrade. Not too expensive and it looks like you could use it.
Good luck...

After restarting I can no longer reproduce the issue and chrome operates as normal.
