Obviously Tim is correct that you can't assume FF is in Program Files, but
if you really did want the Program Files dir for other reasons, the way to
get it is:

>>> from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon
>>> shell.SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, shellcon.CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES)
u'C:\\Program Files'
>>>

Also, IIRC, shortcuts can include environment strings, so specifying
"%ProgramFiles%" in the target might also work (but again, only if you are
sure you really want Program Files :)
