Hi all; I'm trying to setup an ssh tunnel so I can run firefox on a remote laptop and have the display locally. I have 2 laptops local = CentOS 7 remote = mac OSX 10.15.7 I want to create an ssh tunnel on the local CentOS 7 laptop, then run firefox on the mac with the display showing up on the CentOS laptop. Is this doable? Thanks in advance
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.

I can ssh -X myuser at theremote-mac but I cannot run /usr/bin/firefox. I can run "open -a Firefox" on the mac but then it just opens firefox on the mac Thoughts?
