At first run, I tried to start firefox under the local user of course.
When that wouldn't work , I searched Google and found an old bug about
similiar behavior that suggested running firefox as root the first
time. Didn't help, so I'm stuck since it's uite some time I used
FreeBSD.

I'm starting it from commandline. It doesn't print any errors and exits
after a second.
Under root, it starts and gives me debugging messages.
