You shouldn't need to run as root at all. You just need to run as the 
same user who ran Iceweasel in the first place. That's likely to be you.


Oh, and killing Iceweasel/Firefox is probably overkill. If it actually 
is Flash causing the problem, you can just kill the Flash plugin. 

ps aux | grep nspluginviewer

if you are using Adobe's Flash plugin. If you are using the third-part 
FOSS "gnash" plugin, I think this will work:

ps aux | grep gnash

Once you have the process ID, just kill it as normal:

kill <id>

(Use kill -HUP and kill -9 if necessary).
