Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1
Severity: wishlist
If I run FF locally and start an instance over SSH on a remote
machine, all I get is a new window on the local instance. This is
surely not expected behaviour.
I have been told it's possible to tweak this (PING_something
variable), but have not been able to find out how. I would like to
request it to be the default for FF to keep instances apart. Sure,
if the user requests this "smart instance management", all the
better that FF comes with it, but on a Unix system, the standard is
for a remote instance to open itself, not find a local instance
first.
Thanks for your consideration.

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src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version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.
