Yep - I have this working.
NetView seems to have a hard assumption that /usr/bin/netscape will exist. Here is a cut from one of my documents:

  1.

     The NetView online manuals assume that there is a
     /usr/bin/netscape. The standalone command for the online manuals
     is /usr/OV/service/onlinebookchk (a shellscript). This script
     makes a symlink to /usr/local/bin/mozilla if /usr/bin/netscape
     doesn't exist. To use Firefox, simply delete /usr/bin/netscape and
     put in a new symlink:

        1.

           ln -s /opt/MozillaFirefox/bin/firefox.sh /usr/bin/netscape

        2.

           It is not necessary to set the MOZILLA_HOME environment variable

This assumes that your firefox startup is in /opt/MozillaFirefox/bin/firefox.sh.

I have been constructing a document recently on Tivoli on the Linux platform (RedHat 7.2 and SuSE 9.1 Professional). This Firefox thing is one of the little funnies I found. I have put a copy of the document on the NetView TUG site - here is the link if anyone is interested. Note that this is definite "Work In Progress" - no guarantees - your mileage may vary!
