# Docker - Running some GUI interfaces in the browser > Easily run Linux GUI applications like Firefox and GIMP in a Docker container and access them directly through your web browser with these simple commands. ---  **TL;DR** This article shows how to run graphical Linux applications like Firefox and GIMP inside Docker containers and access their interface directly through a web browser (via `http://localhost:3000`), using the `linuxserver/firefox` and `linuxserver/gimp` images — handy for testing a site in a specific browser version without installing it. In a future article, I'll be covering a subject I've just discovered: the possibility of running graphical interfaces in Docker and, therefore, having a Linux application running in Windows. *That article is now written: [Docker - Run Graphical User Interfaces - Firefox, Chrome & GIMP](/blog/docker-run-linux-gui), where the applications are displayed as real windows instead of in a browser tab.* But first, let's take a look at a few graphical interfaces, such as Firefox or GIMP (image processing software), which can be run as if they were web applications. ## Start Firefox in your browser Imagine you're a web developer and just want to check if your site can be displayed on a specific version of Firefox (without having to install the version, of course). Here it is, running in a container and rendered straight in Chrome: > Screenshot — http\://localhost:3000 > >  To reproduce this, copy/paste the command below in your console (coming from ): ```bash $ docker run -d \ --name=firefox \ --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -e FIREFOX_CLI=https://www.linuxserver.io/ \ -p 3000:3000 \ -p 3001:3001 \ -v /path/to/config:/config \ --shm-size="1gb" \ --restart unless-stopped \ lscr.io/linuxserver/firefox:latest ``` Then open your browser and surf to `http://localhost:`3000 to start Firefox. You can then surf to any amazing site. > **On my screenshot above, you'll see I'm using the port 5000 instead (this because my blog is running on port 3000):** And, for fun, here is the same but I've started Firefox in Docker in an MS-DOS environment and, then, I've used Edge instead of Chrome: > Screenshot — http\://localhost:3000 > >  The command I've used in DOS is: `docker run -d --name=firefox --security-opt seccomp=unconfined -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=Etc/UTC -e FIREFOX_CLI=https://www.linuxserver.io/ -p ` 3000`:3000 -p ` 3001`:3001 -v %CD%\temp:/config --shm-size="1gb" --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/firefox:latest`. ## Start GIMP in your browser Another example is running GIMP (image processing software) in the browser: > Screenshot — http\://localhost:3000 > >  Take a look at . You'll find there a command to run in your console. First, make sure to create a subfolder called `config` and, in my example below, I'll also create a subfolder `images` where I've copied an avatar of a meerkat. ```bash $ docker run -d \ --name=gimp \ --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e TZ=Etc/UTC \ -p 3000:3000 \ -p 3001:3001 \ -v ./config:/config \ -v ./images:/images \ -w /images \ --restart unless-stopped \ lscr.io/linuxserver/gimp:latest ``` Like earlier, now, just start your browser and surf to `http://localhost:`3000 to start GIMP — that's the screenshot above. The MS-DOS version of the CLI is: `docker run -d --name=gimp --security-opt seccomp=unconfined -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 -e TZ=Etc/UTC -p ` 3000`:3000 -p ` 3001`:3001 -v %CD%/config:/config -v ./images:/images -w /images --restart unless-stopped lscr.io/linuxserver/gimp:latest`. ## Conclusion Two `docker run` commands, two GUI apps in a browser tab — no install, no cleanup. If you'd rather have these applications open as real windows on your desktop instead of inside a browser tab, [Docker - Run Graphical User Interfaces - Firefox, Chrome & GIMP](/blog/docker-run-linux-gui) covers that variant.
