Hi Peter,

Sadly, X11 forwarding isn't carried forward when switching users. I've previously filed the following:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6956421

I've documented some workarounds here:

You can skip the zones part - it's irrelevant to your problem.

Regards,
Brian

I opened a Terminal window and switched successfully to root with

su -

Then I typed in:

/usr/bin/firefox

Instead of starting the browser the terminal shows the output

"No display specified"

Whats wrong?

Why can I not start firefox?

Peter
