Firstly, I think the option should have a single hyphen preceding it, although I presume it works with two as well.
Secondly, and more importantly, if you don't use that option, or use -remote, then it will use your local firefox display and avoid painting over the network.
But then, without that option, browse to localhost fails, because it tries my local client page, not my remote server apache. I just tried. With "--remote" nothing happens, just exits. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
