<![CDATA[Some people have been saying that Firefox tries to emulate other browsers and be Windows-like in general. Some people have been saying that about Linux/Ubuntu as well. I don't know how correct they are and what they're based on, but there's one thing that comes in the category of being too smart and too user friendly which ends up annoying the regulars.
<br /><br />
I was on my machine and wanted to run a remote instance on Firefox, with the display forwarded back to my machine. I had X forwarding over SSH and my DISPLAY enviroment variable all set up. But when I started 'firefox' on the remote commandline, it opened up an instance of firefox *locally*. WTF!!?
<br /><br />
The <a href="http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2007-10/msg04000.html">fix</a> to this is a 'MOZ_NO_REMOTE' env variable. Duh.]]>
