To tell the Firefox you've started not to do that use -no-remote AIUI.
However, don't let it try and use the same profile as another running

I'm sure you realized this, but it's perhaps worth pointing out that if
you are running a version locally and version remotely on your local X,
-no-remote would be safe to use unless you are doing something really
bizarre with mounting shared user profiles over the network.
Thanks John and Ralph. Found a couple of brief articles on this:

It would have helped if the Mozilla guys had picked something slightly
more meaningful to users than "-no-remote"!
Cheers
