This is the first time, I think, that you have explained that the
problem is that FF is not being used to open the file.
Right click a php file and select Properties.  Select Open With.
Select FF if it is there, otherwise select Add and tell it to use FF.
It will then use that for all php files.  That is for Ubuntu 10.10, it
may be slightly different on other versions.
