Easy.  You need to use the DynamicForward option of ssh.  With an
OpenSSH client, just do

   ssh -D 1080 hostname

and login.  You now have a SOCKS 4/5 server on localhost.  Then
configure firefox to use localhost:1080 as a SOCKS proxy.  Presto!

You can, of course, substitue port 1080 with another port if you wish.
And by default, the SOCKS server will only accept connections from
localhost, unless the GatewayPorts option is enabled in ssh_config (it's
not by default), or if you specify -g on the command line.
