When I was recently using http://software.opensuse.org/search to install some packages on my firewall, I used Firefox, installed on the firewall, to access that site. However, one thing I noticed is that when I start Firefox with ssh from an account that's also on the local computer, the local copy of Firefox starts up, instead of the one on the firewall. However, if I use a different account, including root, Firefox on the firewall runs as intended. I had previously noticed the same behaviour when attempting to run Seamonkey, on my main computer, remotely from my notebook. Generally, when running an X app remotely, the app on the remote computer starts. Why the difference with Seamonkey & Firefox? All computers involved are running some version of OpenSUSE (11.0 or 11.3).
Are you sure that the local Firefox/seamonkey starts up or is it already running? The latter is somehow normal as mozilla apps do something to avoid running multiple instances. This is done using some X methods. What always should work to avoid it is using -no-remote as commandline parameter.
