Starting An App From A Command-line

How do I start an application, lets say mozilla, from an xterm prompt so that when I close the xterm window, mozilla doesn't close with it?

Hi nixcraft, does not work. If you kill the parent (xterm), you will also kill all its children (mozilla).

I unfortunately don't know a way around it.
