Oddly enough, it *does* work, even via SSH over a WAN link, with a few 
caveats.

1. you must start with `--new-instance` if you have Firefox running on 
your local workstation as well; otherwise it'll "talk" to your local 
Firefox instance and tell *it* to open a new window
2. there'll be some noticeable lag, forget watching videos
