I do it all the time.


make sure you forward X11,  on the  ssh server side,  and login with  
ssh -X me at 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


or however you start firefox on a mac.
