Comment 14 for bug 231472

I agree that it was never intended to be run as root. However, note that I did not ran firefox as root that caused the problem to occur. I ran it as a normal user, and the problem occured. Once I ran it as root, it fixed the issue, and I can run it normally as a normal user. Yes, I did update firefox when this issue occured. So I agree that the problem occured when firefox was upgraded and may have corrupted the profiles. Did the problem get solved that the root fixed the profile or something? Or could it be that the problem could be solved when running firefox as another normal user?
