In a terminal type

Code: Select all

run-as-spot /opt/firefox/firefox

(be aware that latest firefox uses gtk3 and apulse.)

@herrbert.
Thanks for your reply.I use a script to initiate firefox usually.

this will work:

Code: Select all

root# run-as-spot apulse firefox

So this script should as well:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
run-as-spot apulse firefox
