The "Run single instance listener" option is not needed on OS X because the ImageJ launcher prevents multiple instances. For example, this command line

  open -a /Users/wayne/ImageJ/ImageJ.app /Users/wayne/ImageJ/blobs.tif

when run repeatedly, opens multiple images but only one ImageJ instance. I am using ImageJ 1.50i, Java 1.6.0_65 and OS X 10.10.5.
