If you know fluxbox functions well, why do you try to start mozilla from 
the command line? Like I wrote before: you can't start mozilla from the 
command line. That's the reason why you see the "Error: no display 
specified". Well, actually it IS possible but it isn't useful because you 
have to switch to the desktop anyway if you want to use mozilla. Switch 
to the desktop with the key CTRL-ALT-F7 and start from there. Right click 
somewhere on the desktop to get a menu to select the application you want 
to run.
