In order to properly understand what is happening, can you tell me what 
happens when you try to run /usr/bin/firefox from a terminal program like 
konsole?

If this does not work, please post the output. If it does work, then please 
tell us exactly what the menu entry has in it. It's a bit hard 
troubleshooting from a distance :)

While I agree that is not a terribly good solution, calling people who try to 
help you idiots even if they are misguided isn't likely to endear you to the 
rest of us.
