With the comment I made about the ownership and protection, I was
thinking about some admin making the Firefox configuration file owned by
the root, in the hope that the user couldn't reconfigure the homepage
they'd get when clicking on the homepage button.

A user could still work around linking the "firefox" command to
something else by directly calling up the original.
