 iceweasel & vidalia-wrapper: RUNNING AS ROOT?
Download Tails 0.23 March 19, 2014

did a check with ps and discovered this:

/bin/su -c iceweasel amnesia

/bin/su -c /usr/local/bin/vidalia-wrapper amnesia

/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin

Why is iceweasel & vidalia-wrapper running with su, followed by another instance but with firefox-bin without su?

WTH?

The iceweasel launcher script and vidalia-wrapper scripts are running as the live user 'amnesia', not as root. The firefox-bin is the Mozilla launcher invoked from the iceweasel launcher script, and also runs as amnesia (not as root).
