You do not want to export DISPLAY, either the ssh -Y set it right or it did not. In either case :0 is usually the monitor directly connected to the device so that will probably never be right for a ssh connection.

All;
I seem to remember way back in the day we used to ssh to a server, set our local display on that connection and then run a web browser FROM the ssh target but display the web browser on the source machine.
I think we used to do this:
ssh -Y target_machine
export DISPLAY=:0
$ firefox &
I have a mac, I can ssh to it, I want to run a web browser FROM the mac but displayed on my Fedora 31 laptop.
I tried this:
ssh -Y mac_ip
export DISPLAY=:0
$ /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
But no joy
Thoughts? Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
