Remote home, two desktops at the same time: firefox and thunderbird can’t be run on both

We’re using Ubuntu desktops with remote homes mounted via NFS. It’s working ok overall, but we’re facing a problem now with thunderbird and firefox.

Some users have two identical desktops running at the same time, they want to work locally on both, and they can’t, mostly because some applications like Firefox and Thunderbird will bark at them for opening more than one session.

Answer

Modern Firefox have feature for sync, so you can move profile from /home to /usr/local and enable internal sync.
