to confirm and to add my thoughts:
In Dapper Beta2 LiveCD, Firefox will be launched with root privileges thru
Firestarter Help, risking the installation by:
1. opening up the system to firefox bugs
2. user may continue browsing with firefox, not knowing that s/he's browsing
with ROOT privileges, opening up the system to firefox vulnerabilities.
Can't we use yelp, or make firestarter launch help with sudo'ing user's
privileges?
