"Failed to connect to Tribler" - I can't use Tribler and it gives me this error

Bug discussion
#1

When I try to run Tribler, it gives the error “Failed to connect to Tribler
Tribler may not be running or your browser is missing a cookie.
In the latter case, please re-open Tribler from the system tray”

What should I do and what’s wrong? I’m using the latest stable version 8.1.3(stable)

Hi,

Maybe you have Tribler open in multiple tabs, and you’re looking at the wrong tab. Tribler can be active in one tab at a time. Close thise tabs and open Tribler from the tray again.
If it doesn’t work try a different browser. I’m using Tribler with Brave and it works fine.
