this actualy works both ways. 
if you dont have a local iceweasel running, start a remote one, then try
to start a local iceweasel, you actualy get a extra window on your
remote running iceweasel

I have not tested this, but iceweasel/firefox use a wrapper script that
does a lot of things, you can try to call the binary directly and see if
that changes anything it should be called something
like  /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin
