and from what you're accessing it. (And if
there's any X Windows software on either
end.)
Normally, if all the X software is in place,
you just need to set a DISPLAY variable on
the (UNIX-like) application server, and
enable its access to your X server (where
you're sitting). (Methods vary, depending on
circumstances. "man xhost" for clues on a
UNIX-like system.) Most SSH programs have
options ("+x", "+X") which handle X
forwarding with less manual intervention.

Re: How to run Firefox via telnet, ssh?
firefox, unlike most applications will not work right in remote mode.
In general ssh -X hostname command-name
Will run the application through a secure ssh tunnel. When you run firefox this way it runs a local copy.
You can try ssh -Y but I don't think that will work either.
You can run vncserver on the remote machine, connect via the vncviewer and run the entire desktop of the remote system normally.
I don't know what it is about firefox that makes it behaves this way.

Just thought of something.
ssh -X hostname gnome-terminal
After you get a login, try firefox. I have not tried it that way yet.
I will try it now.

The last post, gnome-terminal works. I just used a system in Chicago to browse the net (very slowly) from Israel.

Re: How to run Firefox via telnet, ssh?
You can prevent that behavior by starting a firefox process with a "-no-remote" option.
ssh -X host2 firefox -no-remote http://localhost/
will start firefox on host2 and open a http://localhost/ URL to a web server on host2.
