thanks for the fast answer. The machine we are connecting and exporting
the display, is a virtual machine, which is shared by several members of
a team. They are travelling and sometimes the connection is not that
fast, so I am looking for a way to decrease the quality of the exported
display. For example, rdesktop has options "-g" and "-a", for geometry
and colour depth respectively. I can not find such option for
firefox/chrome, so I was looking for another way to control it, probably
like a shell variable.

You are confusing things a bit. Firefox and Chrome are the server side applications. They don't set the screen size or quality, they use whatever the X server is set to. And you definitely don't want to be running raw X protocol over a slow link! That's why you use something like rdesktop (RDP protocol) or VNC. With both of those, the server side part sets the geometry (screen size) and the remote user running the vnc or rdp client sets the quality that it wants. The server reduces the colour depth and compresses the data before sending it to the client.

When you start vncserver, you can pass it the "-geometry" option to set the screen size. For the client side, I use remmina. It handles almost all the remote viewing protocols and you can set the quality options that you want.
