<sigh> so many complicated solutions. Why not just run 'xhost -' to 
disable X authentication temporarily, run your installer as root, then 
run 'xhost +' to re-enable it?

I haven't tried installing firefox myself, so I'm curious... are you 
saying the installer won't work in a text console, and has to have
a working X display?
