## Common questions

### Does P3R Firefox Browser require a local Firefox installation on the host?

No. It runs Firefox as a containerized browser using X11 forwarding, so Firefox is not installed directly on the host system.

### Can the Firefox container be protected with a reverse proxy and authentication?

Yes. A Reddit thread describes self-hosting Firefox in Docker behind an nginx reverse proxy with authorization for private use from another computer.

### Can I self-host Firefox Sync data instead of relying on Mozilla's service?

Yes. A Reddit thread covers self-hosting a Firefox Sync server so the sync data can be managed on your own hardware.

### Where should I look for general Firefox troubleshooting guidance?

Firefox Help provides troubleshooting and diagnosis steps that can help fix most Firefox problems.
