I created that entry, but Firefox was still not opening. The Firefox directory 
containing the shellscript to start it, is in /usr/local, so I've created a 
link.
ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox

Now Firefox does start ok. Klipper actions was obviously looking for Firefox 
in the bin directories.

One odd thing with the "Actions" popup. I was slow at first in trying to find 
Firefox on the popup, and it disappeared. Trying to bring it up again on the 
same URL just failed.  Is that normal? Or is there a way to prevent that 
happening.

Thanks for the help.
