I'm trying to get firefox to start in the upper left corner of the screen in openbox so I added this to my rc.xml. I don't know why it isn't working when gmrun is. I've check the class many times.
<applications>
<application class="Gmrun">
<position>
<x>center</x>
<y>center</y>
</position>
</application>
<application class="Minefield">
<position>
<x>10</x>
<y>10</y>
</position>
</application>
</applications>

I just tried it with devilspie and it worked fine, but that makes me choose geometry too and that messes up popups.

That is what xprop WM_CLASS | cut -d\" -f4 gave me.

Try
xprops | grep WM_CLASS
Should give what you need, put them both in, like this:
<application name="VCLSalFrame" class="OpenOffice.org 2.3">
<desktop>1</desktop>
</application>
Name and class cannot be interchanged freely .

Just tried that, still nothing. I even copied your openoffice one, checked it, and it still didn't work.

Does Firefox honour any of the other window settings (e.g. maximising windows, disabling decorations)?
I found FF 3 b3 not to do that...

Nothing at all. It's FFb4 but still, doesn't follow anything. I've mapped gmrun, gcalctool, pidgin, they all work so I know I'm doing it right.

i have just tried this with urxvt... also not working gmrun works fine tho

Urxvt is a class of URxvt, I got that to work.

Hi Reasons, have you got it working with firefoxb4? I cannot set position for it in openbox per-app settings either.

When you're going to apply a change to firefox, do not use 'class', use 'name' instead.
Instead of:
class="firefox"
use:
name="firefox*"
Try that.
You need to work harder so you can enjoy laziness.

You are replying to a five year old thread: I'm pretty sure they got it sorted in the interim.
