Hi,

when I log from my workstation (Fedora 22) and I have problems with 
running firefox on remote (virtual) machines:

1) Fedora22 - When I start firefox, it says:
(firefox:1345): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property 
GtkSettings:gtk-menu-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore. 
It will be removed in a future version.

(firefox:1345): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: The property 
GtkSettings:gtk-button-images is deprecated and shouldn't be used 
anymore. It will be removed in a future version.

Then a black window appears and I need to press ctrl-c in the shell to 
kill the window, since there is no url bar, no menus, nothing.

2) Centos5: it says nothing (returns me to the shell prompt) and firefox 
is started on the _local_ machine (?!)

3) Centos7 - no problem so far, firefox is started there and correctly 
exported on the local display


Can anyone point me, why it fails in cases 1 and 2? Not to mention case2 
- local firefox wtf?
