Depending in how X is started on your system, there are a couple of startup scripts which say what programs are started in what order.

You're trying to run X without a window manager, is that correct? How are you starting the X environment? Which distribution are you running?
In general, if you are not using a login manager like GDM or KDM, then ~/.xinitrc is the place to put programs/scripts you want to run when X starts.

No. Just i want to start my firefox browser automatically when system reboots. i should go and click firefox button manually to work in browser. It should come automatically when system starts. I am using "ubuntu 9.10".
Thanks in advance...

If you're using Ubuntu, presumably you are also using GNOME. Somewhere in the System menu is a place to add/remove startup applications. System->Sessions or something like that.
Startup Programs Tab

I don't use GNOME, but I believe they are desktop entry files located in ~/.config/autostart.
