⁠Permissions

If you want to use your local user for downoad/profile permissions you'll need to create ~/.config/mozilla/firefox-{VERSION} and ~/Downloads ahead of time.
If you leave the USER_ID and GROUP_ID environment variables out of the below script the root user will be used to start Firefox.

Place something like the below into a script somewhere, ~/bin/firefox:

#/bin/bash

version=$1
name="firefox-$version"
image="minty/firefox:$version"
if [ -z "$version" ]; then
	version="release"
	name="firefox"
	image="minty/firefox"
fi

xhost local:root
exists=$(docker ps -a --filter name=$name | grep $name)
if [ -z "$exists" ]; then
	docker run -d \
		-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
		-e USER_ID=$UID \
		-e GROUP_ID=$UID \
		-v $HOME/Downloads:/data/Downloads \
		-v $HOME/.config/mozilla/firefox-$version:/data/.firefox \
		-v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --privileged \
		-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
		--cpuset-cpus 0 \
		--memory 1024mb \
		--name $name \
		--net host \
		$image
else
	docker start -a $name
fi

Then execute it with the environment you'd like:

% firefox
% firefox dev
% firefox nightly
