Hi John,

I haven't installed Tiger yet on my desktop machine, and it was that 
from which I replied to you. I looks like they've done away with the 
security preferences tab in X11 on Tiger, which I have on my laptop; 
`ssh -X mylinuxbox` works perfectly from that machine, so I don't know 
what to advise you.

Perhaps you could post the command-line output of your ssh session?
For instance, when trying this on my Tiger laptop:

    370 ~ $ ssh -X compaq
    The authenticity of host 'compaq' can't be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
    Warning: Permanently added 'compaq' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

The Firefox opens perfectly in an X session on my Mac. I think your 
output might be relevant to your problem?
