I do see openbox and firefox running but not on my screen, see PIDs 6926 2927 below:Maybe it will be better four you to ask directly to OpenElec developers why openbox could not run correcty on OpenElec. Advanced Launcher is dedicated to start applications using command line, and as your screen show openbox has been effectively started.
I had the same problem after upgrading to Helix on a minimal Ubuntu installation running kodi-standalone. My script for launching applications:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
openbox &
$1
killall openbox
If I set Kodi to Windowed mode, I can see the launched application inside a new window. For some strange reasons, the Kodi Window won't get any window decorations and will always stay on top (see the screenshot below). If I remember correctly, the behavior in Frodo was different.

I changed my system configuration so that I run openbox/kodi instead of kodi-standalone (I called the start script kodi-standalone-openbox):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# start openbox
openbox &
# disable screen blanking
xset -dpms;xset s noblank
# draw background
hsetroot -solid black
# start kodi
kodi
# kill openbox
killall openbox
