Hi Jose,
I do this:
create a file called 'firefox.exe' in ~/bin

firefox.exe contains:
#-----------------------
$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ Firefox/firefox.exe $@
#-----------------------

chmod +x ~/bin/firefox.exe

then I can run 'firefox.exe' to start it, or 
'firefox.exe http://www.google.com' to open a web site.
cheers,
Kev
