Is running a standalone browser in Ubuntu still limited user?

Code:xubuntu@xubuntu:/$ ps aux | grep -i pale
xubuntu 2417 13.4 3.9 2102748 303000 ? Sl 23:20 1:41 ./palemoon-bin
xubuntu 2533 0.0 0.0 21712 964 pts/6 S+ 23:32 0:00 grep --color=auto -i pale
xubuntu@xubuntu:/$Is xubuntu Palemoon's owner or just the user who ran the process? I can save a webpage to any media location & am wondering if standalone default is the same as running as root (ie, no security benefit).
My goal is to run a standalone browser as a limited user in a live session, & the only way I am sure of that is by copying the app to ram.
