Description Alex Xu (Hello71) 2025-03-04 00:15:03 UTC
this check was apparently first added in 69a1fa528d345281cecce0b885918696de2dc039 ("www-client/firefox: bump to v68.0"). however it does not make sense: the X server would be run as root if FEATURES=userpriv, not usersandbox, as was pointed out in bug 682668. instead of fixing the previous check, another one was added in a different function. so I think we can just remove the usersandbox check?
