Hi everyone,
I have the need to open, via ssh -X, a remote copy of firefox on a server, while a local version is running on the server itself.
But seems is not possible to do or at least i have not been able to do.
Is there any workaround for it?

What i need to do in details is:

Server A running firefox locally

machine B connects via ssh to A and opens a remote copy on firefox on B

both use firefox at the same time (usually server A just keeps firefox open not browsing).

Please make me know how to do it, till now i had to:
ssh into server A, killall firefox, start firefox in remote, once done close firefox and restart firefox on A...

Thanks

In your ssh terminal (Machine B)

try
One or the other should work, I just get *confused* by which is which. I believe it's the first which will work in your situation, as the command is indicating that ff shouldn't load the remote's (Machine A's) profile.

cheers

unfortunately it doesn't work.
says the profile is in use

hmmm...The -no-remote option works for me.

However, are you using Tab Mix Plus, or perhaps another Tab add-on that is forcing FF into single-window mode? If so, then by disabling this option you should be able to open multiple FF windows. It wouldn't be my preferred option, but since the no-remote parameter isn't working for you, it may be something to look at.

cheers,
