The reason it said that, is because firefox is a gui application, and
you were apparently trying to run it in the text console. I stand to
be corrected, but since grml is a debian-based system, the following
should work:

To see a list of installed packages, type:

aptitude search '~i' |more

, and use the spacebar to move to the next screen. If you want to see
a description for each package in the list, type:

aptitude show packagename

Besides that, you'll want to learn about gnu/linux. The linux
documentation project

http://www.linuxdoc.org

is a good place to start. Hth.
