I have written a C program, which will monitor all the communication taking place through the Firefox browser in Linux. So I need to execute my program as soon as Firefox starts. Please suggest me how do I do so.
Write a bash wrapper script
#!/bin/bash
my_c_program
firefox
Name it something useful and place it on a path that is mentioned in $PATH.
Alternatively, you can put it in an alias:
alias firefox_starter='my_c_program; firefox'
Put this line in your startup program (.bashrc)
You could create a firefox extension which wraps your program in an XPCOM Component. Here is a tutorial for creating firefox extensions.

I'm running GoLand by the ./goland.sh command in the terminal
How do I make a button to start Gogland by pressing?
I use linux ubuntu
I'm not sure I understand the question 100% but I believe the answer is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
I would recommend you to use the free JetBrains Toolbox:
https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/
Not only will create launchers but will keep everything up-to-date.
I really like it and I am sure you will.

Would like to do this: Make terminal command do the same like lxterminal.
So I think i will need to create a link to it.
ln -s lxterminal terminal
this doesnt work, maybe I need to trace where the lxterminal is, but how?
You have (at least) two options.
Create a symbolic link:
ln -s $(which lxterminal) /path/to/terminal
Create an alias:
alias terminal='lxterminal'
Both options make the assumption that lxterminal is in your ${PATH}.
The symbolic link approach requires write access to the placeholder "/path/to" (${HOME}/bin or some such) and for this to be in your ${PATH} too. This is the more robust solution, but the alias may suffice if you just want to save typing at the prompt.

I need a live multi rename tool.
The one you can find in double commander, or even better total commander.
The best I could find is renameutils,
which lists all the files and let me edit them in my favorite text editor,
but nothing beats something which is designed to be specifically used to rename.
Is there such a program?
Has to be live and interactive - I have to see the edits I'm doing before hitting the "OK" key.
Has to be in the command line - ncurses, slang, shell. Just not GUI.
Edit:
It's probably doesn't belong here, but super-user:)
Answers would still be welcome.
How about RenameWand? http://renamewand.sourceforge.net/
But you indeed should have tried superuser instead: https://superuser.com/questions/25378/mass-renaming-nix-version

iTerm for the mac has an awesome feature which allows you to ctrl-click on a filename in the terminal. (i.e. from an ls or find etc), and the terminal will attempt to launch that file using the default application for the given file's type.
I'm familiar with various ways of opening a file from cygwin using a command, but am more interested if anyone knows of a method to mouse click to open a file.
Was wondering if anyone has seen/used such a feature in cygwin/putty?
This is implemented in the Mintty terminal along with a lot of other nice features so use that instead of the default cygwin one, you should already have it, if you don't download it from here.

When double-tab, the terminal shows a list of command candidates, but the cursor line also moves downwards. How to make it stay on the same line while showing all the candidates below?
I'm guessing there must be some config file that can specify this behavior. This also applies to the case when ctrl-c in the middle of typing a command. I'd like the cursor to stay on the current line.
You need shell with rich terminal support.
For example Z Shell. Bash build with readline library for user interaction and it operate only line-by-line...
This behavior allow to run Bash on most platform as does not require special abilities from terminal.
