Firefox oddity

This isn't a *BSD question per se, but I thought someone may have run into this
before.

I noticed some strange behavior today with Firefox running over X11Forwarding.
I was logged into a local machine where I started firefox. I then logged into a
remote system and ran firefox from there. Even though firefox *should* have
been running separately on the cpu of each system, the Firefox that was started
*first* would always "grab" the session and force it to become a managed window
of its own. These systems are not using any shared (e.g. NFS) homes or disks,
so they wouldn't have access to the same dotfiles. Process list on the latter
system would reveal no firefox processes, while a "pkill firefox" on the former
would indeed kill all Firefox windows.

Has anyone encountered this before? I'm somewhat surprised that I've never seen
this type of thing in all the years I've used X. I've been able to reproduce
this on Linux and OpenBSD.

Thanks,
Jason
