Thanks! This has been plaguing me for years and somehow I was too lazy too actually google until tonight. I always either used lynx or galeon.
Thanks.

[...] Luckily, the solution is fairly straightforward. Once you have SSH’d into a remote host (using ssh -X), you simply need to run firefox -no-remote. Of course you may want to tack on > /dev/null and an ampersand & to ignore the output and background the task. (Thanks to The Open Sourcer.) [...]

Hey I never had this problem with FF and SSH.

However, I had another one and I think it can be useful to tell the solution here. My problem was the following: I started FF in an ssh -X session and it opened correctly (but slowly because of the distance and number of FW/routers to pass through). However, it crashed with an X message after 2 or 3 clics.

The X message was saying something about synchrization, so the solution is to run “firefox –sync”

Thank you very much for this! I was wondering, how it is possible that local instance is always started, even from remote server. Parameter “-no-remote” did the job, however I still do not understand what’s going on there…
