I am currently trying to open Mozilla Firefox on a Ubuntu Server. I am accessing this server via SSH on the Windows 7 Git Bash. I have installed it and when I run firefox, it displays:

Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified.

How can I fix this problem?

Did u tried `export DISPLAY=:0.0`? – Smack Alpha Sep 11 '19 at 11:46
Yes, I have. It said: "Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused Error: cannot open display: :0.0" – MiQu Sep 11 '19 at 13:44
See [this](https://jdhao.github.io/2018/03/02/Windows-connect-server-x11-with-gitbash/). It worked for me but with `X11UseLocalhost yes`. – faghani Dec 14 '19 at 07:18
