Hi,

i use thunderbird sometimes over ssh. as i understand ssh normally should run and use all (files) (not hardware) resources from server.

why did thunderbird do it in this way:

if i have an thunderbird open local and ssh thunderbird to a server, it will not open a second thunderbird, it will pop up the already local thunderbird.

You can fix this by calling thunderbird / firefox with the --new-instance paramater, which will force another independent copy to open

I use --no-remote. The name doesn't look intuitive to me, but it works. If I use "firefox -P Another_profile_name --no-remote" you can start another instance (local if you are in a terminal, not ssh) that uses a different profile.

-no-remote implies -new-instance apparently. And incidentally FF syntax uses a single - although it does accept -- as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you all, --no-remote is working with thunderbird. i have not recognized this option. simoN Am 25.07.19 um 17:59 schrieb Carlos E. R.:

Fascinating. The docs describe single hyphen :P

As I said, it accepts both.

Fascinating indeed :-)
