[uml-devel] uml and firefox

[clowncoder]

Hello,
I get a strange behaviour as far as isolation is concerned between an 
uml machine
and the host, my uml machine is isolated from any network,
if firefox is already running in the host, running firefox in the uml 
machine creates
an instance of firefox that is not isolated: the browser can browse the net.
if firefox is not already running in the host, then the firefox in the 
uml reacts normaly,
that is, it cannot get to the network.
What can be the cause of this or did I dream it?
Regards
Vincent Perrier

Firefox has this odd behavior that if you run it, and it sees there is
already a firefox instance running on that dispay *even if it is
running on a different system*, it will send a message to the existing
firefox asking it to open up a new window.
