Those of you guys who happen to have remote f34 systems - do your

Firefox via 'ssh -YC' like mine is 'unusable'?
Mine hangs almost immediately, has only brief moments when becomes
responsive and the reason why I paint specifically Firefox as the villain is
such, that Chrome and Chrome based web browsers, eg. Brave, Chromium,
Vivaldi, all work okey.
I never use a remote firefox process, I just use OpenSSH's built in
proxy support(see below), and have the FoxyProxy Standard extension,
so certain URLs get sent over the SSH proxy. It makes life a lot
easier, you're only sending browser traffic over the SSH link, not the
entire UI experience.
You can have openssh set up a SOCKS5 proxy via:
$ ssh -D 5555
server.example.org
Then you just use localhost:5555 as a SOCKS5 proxy.
