I have been using Firefox for ages (and placing it on a different page).
This is what I use:

DestroyFunc PageR
AddToFunc PageR I Style "$0" StartsOnPage $1 $2 $3, SkipMapping, RandomPlacement
#                   desk/x/y
PageR Mozilla*      0 0 1

The "Mozilla*" matches the "Name" resource for Firefox.
I'm not sure why I used that pattern instead of "Firefox" but it's
been working for me for a long time.
