Any ideas? > If you don't mind my asking, why do you want to keep it running? I can't see a possible use case since there is no way to connect to a running session of firefox. In fact if you try to run firefox on the same machine as the same user, it will complain that another session is running and you need to close that. If your intention is to keep a constantly running firefox session which you want to connect to at some point in time in the future, then I would suggest you run a VNC (or some other remote desktop protocol) and start firefox from there. So something like this should work, paul@remote-host $ vncserver :<display> -geometry <desired_resolution> Then locally start a vnc client of some kind (vncviewer, tigervnc, remmina, ... ) and connect to the remote machine and start firefox. Now every time you connect with a vnc client you will have access to the same firefox session. > Paul GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
