OK, we cannot support your bug. Instead we should fix the core issue:
running firefox as root creates garbage in pkglibdir which will break
profiles once firefox/xulrunner packages have received a considerable
upgrade.

 status triaged
 importance high
 retitle "firefox run as root should not break profiles when firefox got upgraded"

Maybe solution: we might consider to run update-chrome scripts in
postinst again.
