No need to start X on the remote machine. You need to do "ssh -X
<remotemachine>" so that X is forwarded (back to the machine that you
ssh'ed from). Make sure that "X11Forwarding yes" is set in the /etc/
ssh/sshd_config file (restart the sshd if it was not). Then you can
simply type "firefox &" and it will appear on the machine you started
the ssh from (assuming of course that a X server is running
locally). This of course works for any X11 application, not just
Firefox.
