Docker Hub - Git Hub - Wiki
Attention: The Docker Hub repository is actually named ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox-default to avoid conflicts with the previous generation image.
The repository has been revived and merged into the repository ubuntu-vnc-xfce, because I've noticed, that the images are still being pulled.
This original repository ubuntu-vnc-xfce-firefox stays retired.
The repository is retired and archived. It will not be developed any further and the related images on Docker Hub will not be rebuilt any more. They will phase out and they will be deleted after becoming too old.
Please use the newer third generation (G3) repository accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3 and the related images on Docker Hub instead.
If you still need images based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, then feel free using the repository for building the images locally.

- IMPORTANT: Firefox multi-process mode is default now and therefore larger shared memory (
/dev/shm) is required (see bellow)- environment variable MOZ_FORCE_DISABLE_E10S is not set by default any more
- containers with Firefox require larger shared memory (
/dev/shm) to run reliably- at least 256MB is recommended (default is just 64MB)
- use
docker run --shm-size=256m- or
shm_size: 256mat service level in docker-compose files - see Firefox multi-process in Wiki for description and instructions
