Now, this is aggravating: I went to test it, and all our servers just got the current update last Friday, to either 5.7 or 6.x, and on *both* 5.7 and 6, when I try to run firefox ssh -X yourservert running on my workstation), having issued the above command, it refuses, saying that it's already running, but not responding.... There, I just killed this session, and restarted it, and the session on my workstation's fine, but trying it on another server with -no-remote still fails.
Anyone seen this since the last update?
If you wish to run multiple instances of firefox on the same host then you need a different user profile for each I believe.
I'm sorry, is my writing *that* unclear?
I've always been able to ssh -X to a server, and then run firefox -no-remote, so that it runs ON THAT SERVER, NOT on my workstation. All of a sudden, I can't. Is that clearer? AFAIK, my manager hasn't put any new security in place (he'd have told me - mostly, he's adding logging). But the latest ff *seems* as though it's trying to read my home caches, not obeying what ff's own info says it will do.
