Use "sux" instead of "su" to become root.
It's not the installer that did that, it was firefox run as me, after root's install was done.
I don't just su to root when I do a GUI install anyway, I ssh root@localhost, which is what I'd done.
That has the same problem (incorrect DISPLAY/xauth setup). You would want ssh -X
Firefox installed fine, but when I would later run it as me, it would get that X error.. but when I installed it again as me, into my homedir, it would run fine as me.
You will get that error with any X11 program. -Andi
