Hi Renee, Do you have a lock file in your profile folder? If so, you may need to delete it. According to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder#Where_is_my_profile_folder.3F, your profile is located at ~/.mozilla/firefox/<Profile name>/, unless you manually changed it. You might also find more helpful information at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use. None of this seems to explain why you can start a new window as a normal user once root is running Firefox, but it may be worth a shot.
