You need to find out where your copy of firefox (if any) is located on your 
system.

1)  How did you install firefox?  From a .deb file?  or what

2) Do a:     ls -la  /usr/bin/firefox           (it might be there)

3) Do a   ls -la   /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser   (that might point to it)

4) Someone suggested  issuing:     which firefox     (yes that's a command)     

here's what it shows on my system.

 which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox


5) Maybe do the install again and see if the msgs tell you where it was 
installed.


This is not rocket science....
