... which doesn't invoke firefox? Maybe try:
localserver $ ssh -Y username@servername
sshserver $ xterm
to see if the problem is with firefox, or with the X connection.
Also check that package xorg-x11-xauth is installed (it
probably is).
localserver $ ssh -Y username@servername
sshserver $ rpm -q xorg-x11-xauth
xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.9-1.el7.x86_64
If possible, log into a console session on the
ssh server and see if firefox launches locally there.
Also check the environment on the remote system (ssh server)
is set correctly once you've ssh'd to it:
localserver $ ssh -Y username@servername
sshserver $ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
Also check that the remote username is permitted access
to the local X server:
localserver $ xhost +
localserver $ ssh -Y username@servername
sshserver $ firefox
Note that this leaves localserver X server -wide-open-
from a security standpoint, so must be reversed after
testing:
localserver $ xhost -
Hope that helps,
