Connecting to a different server for sshfs will be a challenge.  The 
reason for this is sshfs automatically mounted with LTSP5 local apps 
support goes through the existing ssh tunnel used by X created upon your 
ldm login.  If you want anything different from this, it will be a 
significant architecture problem that needs to be discussed on the 
upstream ltsp-developer list.

BTW, how fast was starting firefox?  It has been really slow for me on 
first-run, but better on subsequent runs.
