Container'ized image of Firefox - for those environments where you want control over your browser and you just may not have it.

See more about running GUI apps in Docker containers:

• https://medium.com/better-programming/running-desktop-apps-in-docker-43a70a5265c4
• jessfraz on GitHub

You will need an X Server for the GUI to be visible. Here are good candidates

• https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ (Windows, accept all installation defaults)
• https://www.xquartz.org/ (MacOS, untested myself)

CLONE:

$ git clone https://github.com/chevybowtie/firefox.git

EDIT: You will want to edit your prefrences so the container will start up in the desired state. Edit the Dockerfile to include your own.
