Q1:
Because my function is related to kernel, root privilege is necessary.
Hence, I got the error message as shown in the following:
root privileges needed to run this function-------
What function are you talking about? Something in Firefox already, or
new code that you are adding?
Q2:
By running the function with sudo
sudo ./mach run
Things seem running well.
However, the browser can not be launched and it ended without any notice.
Firefox is not meant to run with root privileges, and I actually thought
we checked and refused to launch in that case. I can't find the bug
about it now, though. In any case I strongly discourage running Firefox
as root.
