>Description:
	the firefox pkg includes installation of a 'remote' control tool
	which is meant to find the firefox instance running on your 
	$DISPLAY and make it do things. It doesn't work.

	the Netscape remote.c demonstration client also doesn't work.
	
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	install firefox, try using the remote client.

	
>Fix:
	this hasn't worked for some time. This is a fresh send-pr to
	try and trigger the pkg into a state to tag this problem
	since previous send-pr are very old, and probably show against
	mozilla or even netscape.
