Where is the main Firefox binary?

I want to optimize my graphical experience with multiple plug-ins on Firefox (Specifically CFX) but for that to work, I need to specify the binary of Firefox so that the driver could force the settings onto it. Where is the binary?

1 Answer

There is a command for that:

which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox

From the man page for which:

HICH(1) General Commands Manual WHICH(1)

NAME which - locate a command
SYNOPSIS which [-a] filename ...
DESCRIPTION which returns the pathnames of the files (or links) which would be exe‐ cuted in the current environment, had its arguments been given as com‐ mands in a strictly POSIX-conformant shell. It does this by searching the PATH for executable files matching the names of the arguments. It does not follow symbolic links.
