Oh, I've got remote X working just fine.  It's just getting firefox to
actually run on the remote box that's the issue.

Sorry, I'm not a Linux guru and I may be off centre here, but ssh -X remote.domain then at command prompt firefox opens up firefox on my remote machine or gedit opens gedit or xxxx opens whatever X app. Running bog standard CentOS 4.3 with no extra repos and all updates.
