to your /home/[username i.e. dsl]/.xinitrc file just before the line for fluxbox (or enlightenment :D )

.xinitrc is the right way to go.

Just replace the "dillo -f" with "/usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox" and save the file.

Now the important part is that you need to backup your changed file and then restore it upon bootup (unless you are running from a full hd install).

Read the documentation on the backup/restore process, or search the forums for keyword

filetool.lst

and search ALL FORUMS and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER
