I indeed run Firefox using the above method from my servers (which aren't r=
unning X) but X is still installed.

It *should* be able to work in theory (I use xdialog from ports on machines=
 that don't have X installed; only xdialog and xauth).

*** warning *** will uninstall X11 software *** warning ***

pkg_delete -x xorg

Maybe Firefox will still run (communicating with the X server running on th=
e local side of your ssh client), or maybe it will balk incessantly about s=
omething.

I do know however, that you'll need xauth installed regardless.
