There's summat weird about the Mozilla family!
The other day I had a weird experience with them.
I had Firefox running on the laptop I was sitting at. For reasons which had to do with difficulty getting Firefox to behave on a particular website, I telnetted through to another of my 3 machines (built in 2001) and started up an old Mozilla on it (from about the same era).
Lo and Behold! I got a window spawned from the firefox on my laptop!!! No window from the Mozilla on the other machine.
This ain't the first time I've observed that these browsers seem able to detect their presence on other machines, but that was the most spectacular.
Your problems, Chris, may well be related to the same issue. Ted.

Why are web browsers (well, Netscape and its descendents) so different from all other programs?
All I want to do is run Firefox on another system on my (three machine) network and it's very difficult! [...]
