But what if you've already got firefox running on the local host, then you ssh to a remote host and try to run firefox there? For me, that just spawns another window of the local firefox session. Ahh! I'm with you now. Didn't notice it was running a local copy. Sorry! I've tried the --no-xshm et al and, like you, just get a local copy. Googling didn't give me any relevant results either.
