"XDM authorization key matches an existing client" doesn't mean "you are not
authorized". This is an old problem and it has nothing to do with running as
root, so sux or kdesu won't help
Here's what you need to do: first turn off x authentication completely with
"xhost +" (run as your regular user). Then run firefox once and let it start
up, then close it down and re-enable x authentication with "xhost -" (again,
run as your regular user). After that, things should work again as normal
