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) Just setting the name of the display on the remote host is enough, as he discovered.
