Hi,

I am facing a weird problem when trying to run iceweasel on a remote
host through an ssh session. I have logged into the remote host using
"ssh -Y <remote>" and at the prompt of the remote host, I ran iceweasel.
However it appears that a local instance of iceweasel is started. There
is no iceweasel/firefox process at all on the remote host. The only way
I could get iceweasel to run on the remote host is by closing all
instances of iceweasel already running on the localhost.

Is something wrong? If not, how do I run separate instances of iceweasel
concurrently?

Both the systems run on etch, iceweasel-2.0.0.3

this actualy works both ways.
if you dont have a local iceweasel running, start a remote one, then try
to start a local iceweasel, you actualy get a extra window on your
remote running iceweasel

I have not tested this, but iceweasel/firefox use a wrapper script that
does a lot of things, you can try to call the binary directly and see if
that changes anything it should be called something
like /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
