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
