This is the right forum :) We've only got one mailing list for the time

Yes, add --no-remote to the firefox line. So that it is:
ssh -Y 192.168.50.2 firefox -no-remote
If you have a locally running firefox sometimes the remote firefox will
attach to it instead of running a separate instance on the remote server.
Let me know if that works, if not we'll figure out what's going on...
