Is there a (simple) way to do what I want?
ssh -XC <remote-computer> "/usr/bin/firefox --no-remote"
always works for me.
Does not work, same popup message.
Meanwhile, this worked:
ssh cer@wallcomputer "DISPLAY=:0 firefox https://www.youtube.com/something"
-X can never do what Carlos wants. It forwards the X connection from the client on the remote host (i.e. wall computer) onto the local display (i.e. desktop computer)
it can if xauth is the same on both. I use similar commands frequently w/o any problem nor the need to designate "DISPLAY="
Just setting the name of the display on the remote host is enough, as he discovered.
