If Iceweasel is such a security risk, perhaps I should create a separate user under which to use it. What all can a buggy Iceweasel allow? Yes, I know, anything that I can do as myself. I know that root shouldn't run Iceweasel (or any X app?) and certainly not startx itself. What about a normal user who is a member of priveledged groups like: wheel, ssh, adm, or staff?
