being a root user, not able to launch "fennec" through command line on N900?

more options

I have installed fennec browser from firefox website. I am able to launch fennec browser through Menu & clicking on firefox icon. and absolutely working fine.

Whereas When I tried to launch the same fennec through command line from X-terminal. it executes and comes out no error messages nothing and still the browser will not be launched. Surprisingly!! the above problem happens only as root user(I mean "sudo gainroot" on N900 X-terminal). Fennec launches well with normal user login. But i need it as a root user to perform it. Help would be greatly appreciated.
