If I'm on system a as user a and I ssh (using X tunneling via ssh -XC)

contextual info (cookies, etc.)!
Why is this happening?
Pure guess here, but... It is possible that rather than "running"
firefox on 'a', it is first checking the X server to see if an instance
is already running. If so, it can then send the running firefox an X
command to "start a new window".
I can't reproduce this whether I have a local firefox first or not
- I get proper separate processes with their own attributes.
Is it possible they are using the same ~/.mozilla directory somehow?
Not at all possible - they're on different machines! (No network file
systems are in place or anything like that.)
This is version 2.0.0.7.
