Yes, I'm aware that you can do it that way. However, I'd never recommend
running FireFox or Thunderbird as root[1]. Perhaps my concern is left
over from my Windows days where the system is susceptible to being
infected within a matter of seconds...


[1]Although, I have to admit that I have run SeaMonkey as root when
testing and had to update ChatZilla before it was fixed.
