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. mark mark
