⁠Command line explanation

• Run in interactive mode.

But if you have closed firefox windows and you want to reload it:

:computer: firefox

⁠Explanations

⁠Dockerfile

• After to be sure for your user ID and group ID you can export data.
• Create identical user with Developper name.
• Give him sudoers privileges to machine host to access without password.
• Using Developer user.
• Launch Firefox.

⁠Display

Use host drivers to display GUI applications from container. Do not use this container with remote access.

⁠Risks

Make sudoers give dangerous access permissions... Sharing drivers turn sandbox to isolation failure... Reserve it to test only in local mode.
