This does not fix the issue. root@kali:~# firefox-esr |

Hello again. The issue with firefox can't be "directly" fixed. Firefox does not allow running it as root if your session is run by a regular user, that has been like that for a while. That's why in old versions of kali you could open firefox as root, because you were using the root user for the whole session, not only firefox. Now the solution: root@kali:/# USER=$(find $XAUTHORITY -printf '%u') Now, this is already fixed with the update of kali, as we've added this script to a new helper app called 'Default Browser' and now it is configured as the default browser for all desktops. This way, no matter if you are running a program as root or as a regular user, when you click/open a link from the app, this helper app will ensure the browser (in this case firefox) is run as the current logged user. To make this update work you need kali-themes 2021.3 (sudo apt update && sudo apt install kali-themes) |

This change has caused another issue.

If you are not running as root, why are you using everything as root? |
