Cannot start firefox on X11 forwarding SSH session

I have installed Ubuntu Desktop 16.04.2 LTS and want to start firefox from my X11 forwarding ssh session but I get the following error message:

user@user-Virtual-Machine:~$ firefox
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Broadway display type not supported: localhost:10.0
Error: cannot open display: localhost:10.0

I am using the latest version of BitVise SSH Client

The settings in my SSH client look like this: click here for X11 client settings

My sshd_config looks like this:

Port 22
Protocol 2
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

What am I doing wrong?

Solution 1:

I had the same problem while running firefox on an Ubuntu 18.04 system through MobaXterm. Solution was to install xorg and openbox and then logging in again.
