By the way: this will probably send you an e-mail explaining why it
failed (because I would expect it to fail). Basically, firefox will need
to know "where" it should open. If you want it to attempt to open itself
on your graphical console (e.g. if you're logged in with an X11 window
manager), you might need to do:

00      21      *       *       fri          env DISPLAY=:0 firefox

Also, note that it might not be a good idea to attempt a "long-running"
cron job. If you test the above and it works, you might then choose to
change it to this in future:

00      21      *       *       fri          env DISPLAY=:0 firefox &
