I can't open a remote Firefox window in my terminal(Tilix) via ssh -x:

sshpass -f .ssh/passwd ssh -X root@*.*.*.*

(Remote) firefox --no-remote

I already read some question like How do I launch a remote firefox window via SSH?, but all of them don't help solve my problem.

There aren't any extra error message or a Firefox window in terminal (just no response and no new window open).

Local System: Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 LTS

Remote server: Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

Remote Firefox Version: Mozilla Firefox 76.0b8

Does it mean Firefox are running correctly but my local display settings have problem?

@jet Thanks, That error message disappeared after I install these 2 packages, But it still can't display it correctly(I wait for 2 minutes to ensure it). – yan chen Apr 17 '20 at 13:05
