Make a new user on your system, and start firefox as that user via sudo, adding the option "--no-remote" to the firefox command line. You might need to add Defaults env_reset,env_keep+="DISPLAY XAUTHORITY" to your /etc/sudoers to allow any programm running as the other user access to your X session.
