Firefox ubuntu issue 07-20-2018, 02:28 PM

Hello all,
How is everyone. I have stumbled across an issue that I'm trying to fix but, ain't working. The issue is "Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported."
but, of course the ".Xauthority" doesn't exist in /home/mimi. Is it just a file created in that directory of mimi and, just moves the .Xauthority into the location for firefox to correctly work?
P.S. I have looked online but, the help wasn't the best.

How is everyone. I have stumbled across an issue that I'm trying to fix but, ain't working. The issue is "Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported."
Code:
$ sudo su -
$ # make backup of .Xauthority if needed
$ test -f .Xauthority && mv .Xauthority .Xauthority.bak
$ cp -a /home/youruser/.Xauthority .Xauthority
$ chown root: .Xauthority
but, of course the ".Xauthority" doesn't exist in /home/mimi. Is it just a file created in that directory of mimi and, just moves the .Xauthority into the location for firefox to correctly work?
