$ ssh -l name@ip firefox
cannot find display (or something like that)

I have dsa keys already setup, and they work...

Nothing works, but I have not tried cmd line apps yet...
You realize that if you don't use X-Forwarding, you can only do command line apps, right? Graphical apps require X-Forwarding or VNC.

Unless... you're trying to start an application from the ssh command line, and have it run on your primary computer's display?
