SSH, firefox, and X

[max]

ssh to another host on the local lan. I tried running firefox from the CLI, it starts then
crashes. Other apps work fine gthumb , xchat, emacs. I thought I might need some special
incantation and have found several floating around but no joy. I have also noticed that
when I 'exit' from the remote host after running say gthumb or attempting to run
firefox that I have to ctrl-C or I don't get the prompt back, however if i log in and
don't run any graphical apps it logouts without a problem. Makes me think I am
forgetting an option but I have tried various things with firefox and i get the same
results.

 Another thing about the logout hang is that it doesn't occur when I have used only
emacs but if run gthumb or something similar then it will hang on logout and require a
ctrl-c.

 I haven't to the best of my recollection ever tried running FF(or any other graphical
app) on a remote host thru ssh, not generally what I use ssh for but I decided to try it
out. Is it broken or have I not properly mixed my dog hair and bat poop. I get the
following no matter what recipe I try:
