why: because firefox is not in your path. PATH is an environment variable which contains a list of directories searched whenever you issue a command. If a directory is not in your path, any executables in that directory will need to be started with a full or relative path.
how: if you are using a harddrive install, or if you have /ramdisk/usr/local/bin, you can make a symlink:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/
Or if you don't have a writeable bin directory, you could link it somewhere within your $HOME directory add that directory to your path:
export PATH=/home/dsl/somedir:$PATH
In mc, press <Ctrl>x, then s. Link will be made in the opposite directory to the selected file. only works as root in system directories.
