Yes, I did. :-) The `ssh' or `-X' isn't going to proxy Firefox's file access to the profile so that's local. But if sshing from the office to home, the home may still have Firefox running from before leaving for work. That's more what I was thinking than running Firefox remotely on a datacentre VM.
