Firefox in Docker optimized for Unraid
This container will download and install Firefox in the preferred version and language.
UPDATE: The container will check on every restart if there is a newer version available.
ATTENTION: If you want to change the language, you have to delete every file in the 'firefox' directory except the 'profile' folder.
RESOLUTION: You can also change the resolution from the WebGUI, to do that simply click on 'Show more settings...' (on a resolution change it can occour that the screen is not filled entirely with the Firefox window, simply restart the container and it will be fullscreen again).

Set VNC Password:
Please be sure to create the password first inside the container, to do that open up a console from the container (Unraid: In the Docker tab click on the container icon and on 'Console' then type in the following):
- su $USER
- vncpasswd
- ENTER YOUR PASSWORD TWO TIMES AND PRESS ENTER AND SAY NO WHEN IT ASKS FOR VIEW ACCESS
Unraid: close the console, edit the template and create a variable with the Key: TURBOVNC_PARAMS and leave the Value empty, click Add and Apply.
All other platforms running Docker: create a environment variable TURBOVNC_PARAMS that is empty or like this:
--env 'TURBOVNC_PARAMS=-securitytypes VNC'
This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!
