This is relied to the problem I have using "firefox -P" on my
local centos to try to start a new instance of firefox with a
different profile.
My solution is to start
env MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 firefox -P
Could you try that? I checked it through ssh and it works. Just
that you have to chose the profile at start.
