I assume you downloaded the tor browser from torproject.org and installed it following the Linux Instructions, then you can simply run the starter with a URL as an argument and it will open it:

./start-tor-browser.desktop google.com

If you don't want to use the .desktop file, run it directly with

./Browser/start-tor-browser --detach google.com

or using an absolute path (substitute LANG with your language code):

/path/to/tor-browser_LANG/Browser/start-tor-browser --detach google.com

You could use SSH as a proxy and then use a local browser to use that proxy.

ssh -ND 8080 user@server.example.com

That sets a SOCKS proxy. Just edit your browser's proxy settings to IP: localhost Port: 8080 and your traffic is going out over SSH.

Just remember that all your browser's traffic is going through the proxy until you disable it so don't do anything against network policy while you're logged in. I might suggest using a private instance of Chrome, for example.

Note: This probably won't work for domain lookups so you'll need the local (to the SSH host) IP of the router.
