Firefox tab crashes at startup
I am logged in via ssh on remote CentOS machine: $ cat /etc/os-release NAME="CentOS Linux" VERSION="7 (Core)" ID="centos" ID_LIKE="rhel fedora" VERSION_ID="7" PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)" ANSI_COLOR="0;31" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7" HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/"
CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"
I am trying to start Firefox from that CentOS machine and display it on my MAC (Catalina) where I have installed XQuartz but Firefox is crashing with message: "Your tab just crashed" (see attach) and the error message in CentOS terminal as follows:
$ firefox

I should mention that I am able to run Firefox from my MAC terminal without issues.
I followed solution given here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1167673) but that didn't resolve my issue.
Please advise,

Hello,
I do not completely understand why you would like this use case; however I will try to help.
Your Firefox seems extremely out of date. Please update your Firefox using RPM.
Can you please tell me what is the exact command I should run from the terminal? And do I run it from the remote CentOS machine or the local MAC?
If you plan to keep using Firefox over ssh, you should execute sudo rpm update then sudo rpm install Firefox or ''sudo rpm upgrade
I do not use red hat based distros, so I believe those are the commands to use.
Verify that you meet the System Requirements (GTK+ and GLib) for the current Firefox release.
