I am not exactly sure how this works, I've never (or so long ago that
I forgot) investigated, but if I have a Mozilla running locally and I
click on a URL in a ssh-piped emacs running on a remote host, the URL
gets forwarded to my local host's Mozilla and it loads locally. Works
a lot faster than loading and fowarding the display of a remote
Mozilla. I know it isn't specific to Mozilla because it worked on
Netscape and maybe even Mosaic before that.
