Installing and running firefox

Hey, xterm says when I want to run firefox:

$ firefox
bash: firefox: command not found

which I find weird, because I used:

pacman -Sy firefox

I know its is actually called bon echo, but I cannot find that package.
I am running fluxbox 1.0rc3
...now what am I doing wrong?
I also cannot find firefox in the Net>Browsers> menu, even when I used Regen Menu.

It installs in /opt - so if you do not find /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox - it is not installed

You have to relog in and out of the shell for Arch to add it to your PATH I believe
