It's not possible with chromium either. I have two separate X servers

Tim, likely you are confusing ability of the same browser instance to
have windows on multiple DISPLAYs and running multiple instances on
the same display.
I don't think so. I want to run multiple instances on different
displays. But any attempt to do anything on the second display seems to
have chrome first looking for the existing instance and then displaying
everything on that display.
I am still in doubts if Daniel needs different DISPLAYs.
Out of curiosity I have tried another instances of Chromium and Firefox
from "ssh -X". Perhaps Firefox relies too much on hardware graphics
acceleration and menus were not rendered. Chromium worked a bit better,
but e.g. open file dialog appeared on the local screen. It is more or
less expected. Desktop portal was running on the local display and I was
not tried to isolate D-Bus session. I consider it as a limitation of
desktop user session rather than of browsers.
I have not tried it, but sharing whole session might work better, e.g.
RDP and gnome-remote-desktop. It seems

describes VNC access.
