Yes, normal user can use firefox as long as he has the permission to run it.
The error message is printed if your firefox crashed last time you run it. (firefox has no chance to clean the lock file). If you are pretty sure that no other "firefox" is running (you get check this by run "ps -elf | grep firefox"), you can solve this problem by removing lock file under profile directory like this: rm -f $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/some-letters.<your-profile-name>/lock some-letters.<your-profile-name> is the directory contains all information related to this profile. If you never create any profile by yourself, there will be only one profile named "default". your profile directory will be looked like this: gq2e3ws6.*default* Regards Brian xx wrote: > after i install firefox as root and attempt to run firefox in another > nonglobal zone as a normal user - i get: > > Firefox is already running, but is not responding.
