Could be an environment problem. Try to open a shell, then start firefox or 
chrome from the commandline. Maybe then you might see, why it does not start.

If the other system is a linux system, you can also connect with ssh and start 
gui applications.

Note, you must use the tag -X with ssh, like

ssh -X -l myusername host_or_IP

Good luck!
