I have a dispVM `my-dvm` where everything works as it should: if I
open Firefox, that Firefox instance starts in a new disp VM.
I want to clone that dispVM and create a new dispVM connected to a
different network-providing VM, so I do exactly that: clone `my-dvm`
and set the netVM for `my-new-dvm` to `my-other-netvm`.
When I start XTerm in `my-new-dvm` the new XTerm window starts in a
disp disposable VM, as it should.
When I start Firefox in `my-new-dvm`, however, Firefox starts up in
the underlying `my-new-dvm` template, not in a disp disposable VM.
This means that the Firefox browsing history and prefs are saved, any
malware gets to persist, etc.
Comparing the output of `qvm-prefs my-new-dvm` and `qvm-prefs my-dvm`,
all settings are identical except for things that should obviously be
different (the netvm, the GUID, the IP address, etc).
After further testing, the problem does not appear when cloning a Whonix
workstation dispVM -- the problem only appears when cloning a
Fedora-based dispVM.
