Package: firefox
Version: firefox
Severity: normal
Hi,
thank you for maintaining the Firefox packages. We love you guys!
Today I opened a remote xterm via "ssh -X $IP xterm". From the xterm I
called firefox. I was amazed to find out that FF came up with my local
bookmarks and starting page. It turned out that FF was running locally,
not remotely.
Upon closer inspection it became clear that whenever an FF process is
already running locally, calling the process remotely still launches FF
locally. The opposite is also true. I quit all FF processes and called
it remotely which succeeded. Launching it from a local console then
does nothing but open another remote FF process.
Konqueror behaves sanely in this respect so I assume it has to do with
FF itself.
Best regards
Rolf

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
