Hi Dave,

You can get Firefox on the XO by going to
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firefox You'll see a link for firefox.xo in
the box on the right. Click on it and it will download and install
Firefox for you. After the download is done, you'll see an information
bar in Browse. You should be able to see Firefox in the Home view and
use it from there.

A whole bunch of other activities are posted at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/All

Hope this helps,
Sameer
