I have just installed lubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu 12.04. I understand that chromium is the default browser in lubuntu but I was expecting Firefox to show up under the Internet menu. It is installed in my computer, and it shows in the Lubuntu Software Center under installed applications but I cannot find it anywhere. How do I have it show up on the Internet menu?

Here's what you can do. While in a Lubuntu session:
/usr/share/applications
and make sure that the Firefox icon is visible.~/.local/share/applications
and make sure you have enabled viewing "hidden files and folders". (In case you do not have ~/.local/share/applications, just create such a folder.)#
at the beginning of that line. Else, carefully, delete just "OnlyShowIn=Unity;". Note that the "opposite" of OnlyShowIn=, is NotShowIn=. I understand that TargetEnvironment=, which would be synonymous to OnlyShowIn=, is now deprecated.To minimize confusion, you could do some more by further editing the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications.
Name=
. (There could be more than one.)After saving and closing the desktop file, you'll see whatever name you have provided appear in the menu (along with regular Firefox when you run Unity).
