Cannot run iceweasel on remote host

[Raj Kiran Grandhi <grajkiran@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am facing a weird problem when trying to run iceweasel on a remote 
host through an ssh session. I have logged into the remote host using 
"ssh -Y <remote>" and at the prompt of the remote host, I ran iceweasel. 
However it appears that a local instance of iceweasel is started. There 
is no iceweasel/firefox process at all on the remote host. The only way 
I could get iceweasel to run on the remote host is by closing all 
instances of iceweasel already running on the localhost.

Is something wrong? If not, how do I run separate instances of iceweasel 
concurrently?

Both the systems run on etch, iceweasel-2.0.0.3

Thanks,
Raj Kiran
