Description William Sjöblom cendio 2021-05-11 09:30:36 CEST 
tl-setup and tl-installer contain clickable links. These work as indented when directly invoked by the root user (ex. `sudo su -c ./install-server`). However, when invoked as intended (ex. `./install-server`) you are given the following terminal printout and no browser window is opened:

> Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported.($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /run/user/<uid> which is owned by <username>.)

A possible workaround is right-clicking the link, "Copy Link Address", and manually pasting it in the browser.
