Firefox 35 -no-remote on Fedora 21 (via SSH -X) just hangs
Firefox 35 opens on the local console for each of several machines all running Fedora 21 just fine. If I "ssh -X" from one machine to one of the others, then run "firefox -no-remote", the Firefox window does not open anywhere. Usually, the command just hangs. Once it crashed with the message, "###!!! ABORT: X_ShmPutImage: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation); 12 requests ago: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-35.0/mozilla-release/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 157". In that one case, it offered to restart Firefox but the restart did not occur.

I tried to look for the error source here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-centra.../nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp#157
However it just gives a runtime error.
What technique makes it work? run: firefox -no-xshm
Does any infor come from ssh debugging?
systemA runs "ssh -X systemB", both are F21 with FF35. In the resulting session, systemA runs "firefox -no-remote" and gets no response, must INTR to recover. If instead, system A runs "firefox -no-xshm" or just "firefox", a new FF window from systemA opens. My objective is to open a new FF window from systemB, displayed on systemA.
What kind of SSH debugging do you have in mind?
Where can I report this as a bug? The Mozilla "support" site does not seem to offer a Bugzilla or similar system.
Not having seen an answer, I presume it is a bug...
