Hello, Im a college student and im doing a project where i need to run firefox as root to try to measure energy power consumed. After couple days searching in forums and in your support center i coulndt find any solution. The error im getting is "Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported". Im getting really hopeless about this so i would like to know if there is any way to run firefox as a root. I have already try to disable sandbox, set sandbox level to 1. Hope you could help me.

Thank you very much for your time.

Can't you run Firefox as a normal user as root via 'sudo' ?
