rc.local is executed before X is loaded.
You can set firefox to load in your windowmanager, when X starts
Which windowmanager do you use?

Wouldn't that mean FF was running as root (although you could preface it with a su - <username>)? Might be more convenient on the Desktop so how about adding it to the Desktop's autostarts?

That was what I meant to say.
Sorry for the confusion.

In order to give recommendations on how to have your wm auto load programs, we must know which window manager you run. :cool:

you could probably stick 'firefox &' on the last line of .bashrc or .profile or .bash_profile
