Not bug but rather security issue.
I launch Porteus Settings Center - I enter root password.
I change date, keyboard etc.
Then I click Porteus FAQ. Firefox pops up, I read FAQs then I continue surfing the net.
I notice that FF extensions (Adblock, Noscript, ForceHTTPS) are not working.
F**K! IM BROWSING AS ROOT!
Porteus Settings Center

Re: Porteus Settings Center
Why didn't you just exit root mode to resume guest mode?

Re: Porteus Settings Center
Im saying that there is no warning 'you are running ff as root'.
if you run spacefm as root the border is red.
actually the problem is that I started surfing the net as DIFFERENT user so I had no extensions and browsing history was not stored in default profile (thus I couldn't easily resume session).
on the other hand there is an option in menu: system tools> porteus faq.
it launches ff as guest.
