On Ubuntu Tweak-> Admins -> Scripts, move Browse as root script to enable scripts.

run this command: 

nautilus -q

And run nautilus, right-click on a file, you can see in "Scripts" sub-menu "Browse as root".But, i think there is a bug in script, because if you right-click on empty area in folder, "Browse as root" can't show the folder you want.So you must right-click on a file in the folder. No problem for me, i use this script.

How To Open File As Root ?????? – Vishnu Praneeth Reddy Nov 11 '12 at 20:48
You can open files as root when you are browsing as root and also you can do it directly with right click.Run following commands in terminal. in order to get root privileges: sudo su then gedit .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ root Now a gedit windows must have opened.Copy and paste the following code: for uri in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_URIS; do gksudo "gnome-open $uri" & done Ctrl+S to save file and back to the terminal and type: sudo chmod +x .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open\ as\ root Now you can see Open as root option where Scripts sub-menu in nautilus right-click menu. – Hckr Nov 11 '12 at 22:17
