I'm trying to run Firefox via xvfb on a remote VPS. However I'm running into some permission issues, and it sounds like when using xvfb it's running as root (as it's referencing user with id 0).

How can I get firefox to successfully run?

While logged into a non root user, I'm using xvfb-run firefox as the command which is resulting in the following error being constantly displayed in terminal:

(firefox:14843): dconf-CRITICAL **: 12:15:56.021: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

    Hello. I do not see any version of Ubuntu mentioned in your question. – David Apr 10 '22 at 12:20

  • It does not, at least not to my understanding. I'm not using sudo. – Chris Stryczynski Apr 10 '22 at 18:28
