first question:

echo 'PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bashrc (or similar)

second question:

i'd like to see an example of a program that launches firefox from its
hard-coded path.  for the generalized version of this problem i'm sure
that there are cases where something like this happens, but from my
experience it's fairly rare. in most cases (i.e. your startup menu) you
can just change the path if it's fully-qualified.
