i can confirm that on gutsy, with a default setup (one user in admin
group). if i run synaptic, go to help->contents then yelp is started as
root. (yelp is currently broken bug 130019), so i am not sure if yelp
will launch firefox as root.

make sure that firefox is not open to start with when you test this,
otherwise the link might be passed to the currently running instance.
