make sure you forward X11,  on the  ssh server side,  and login with
ssh -X me@myhost.whatever

start firefox with:

/usr/bin/firefox -no-remote    if you don't want the remote pages ending
up in your local browser

or if you don't care, just run firefox without -no-remote


Don't you have to make sure that the Firefox on the MacOS-X system is using
X11? It normally uses the native MacOS windowing system which is not X.



or however you start firefox on a mac.

Hi all;


I'm trying to setup an ssh tunnel so I can run firefox on a remote
laptop and have the display locally.


I have 2 laptops

local = CentOS 7

remote = mac OSX 10.15.7


I want to create an ssh tunnel on the local CentOS 7 laptop, then run
firefox on the mac with the display showing up on the CentOS laptop.

Is this doable?


Thanks in advance
