How to convert ~/.mozilla from root to spot user?

Out of curiosity, I'd like to move an existing .mozilla from ~/root to spot's home directory. But ownership of all those files is root's. Can someone give me the code to do the conversion? Thanks!

copy the directory over to ~/spot then open a terminal
Code: Select all
chown -R spot:spot /root/spot/.mozilla
changing ownership of /.mozilla from root to spot recursively.

Thanks, rockedge.
(oops.... one z in mozilla) worked perfectly after that. Everything in Seamonkey 2.53 with old bookmarks, extensions, preferences, mail, etc. now works as Spot after changing /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser to:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#exec apulse /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"
run-as-spot apulse /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"
apulse is needed for sound because Seamonkey changed to the later Firefox engine after ver. 2.51
