Weird firefox problem

[Nicholas Pappas]

     Although I have not had success in install Ubuntu yet, I would 
imagin that Firefox is available through the repository -- in fact, 
isn't Firefox installed by default!?
     If you want to use the installed Firefox, you can change the group 
to which the Firefox bin file belongs to the user group, or some other 
group that you users belong to.
     chgrp user /usr/local/firefox
     ... altered to suit your needs.

firefox to /usr/local/firefox. But for some reason I can only run 
firefox using sudo. I check the permissions on the folder and the folder 
owner is root and the file group is staff. The special flag is set to 
Set Group Id and  number view is 2755. Does anybody have any idea on 
what I have done wrong?
