I run VSIDO as my OS. I can start Nightly as root in terminal but this is no good as my wife also uses the computer and needs access to the internet. I have this command set in the Fluxbox menu , /home/gordon/browser/firefox-32.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64/firefox/firefox, which does run nightly but is virtually unusable as the background is bright white and you can't see any of the boxes or what they contain, nor is the menu bar readable and it will not update nightly. What command do I need to set to run nightly automatically as root every time it starts up ?
