Sure, if you tell Sugar to go to the currently active Browse session,
it won't start a new one. There were changes in how activities are
launched in 0.84, but that change wasn't "don't let more than one
browser run at the same time".

If you think that change wasn't for good, your opinion on the design
threads will be appreciated. There's going to be a round of user
testing about this soon.
