Starting firefox insde container makes new window in host firefox

I am currently trying to make an docker container that connect to a VPN (via openforivpn) and the open a Firefox instance to use with that connection. When there is no Firefox running in my host, everything works fine, the container start the VPN connection and the open the Firefox application connected to my X server. But if I have my host Firefox is running, when I start the container it opens a new window on my host Firefox and the exit the container with the message:

feulo@branca:~/vpen-test$ docker-compose up
Recreating 07_complex_compose_openfortivpn_1 ... done
Attaching to 07_complex_compose_openfortivpn_1
07_complex_compose_openfortivpn_1 exited with code 0

found the solution in Docker with shared X11 socket: Why can it "start" Firefox outside of the container?

just need to add -new-instance to Firefox
