Fireline is a good stuff but a pain to tie a knot with. If you are using the mono as a backfill on the spool, I've had pretty good luck with the blood knot. (pic in the knot link). Held well, but never did have to test it with a fish ripping line off the spool past the knot.

NOFISH,

If you're using the mono as a leader, my preference is to use a barrel swivel as the connection point. If it's connecting mono backing to your fireline you might try a nail knot.

NOFISH,
I use a uni-knot to uni-knot tie my mono to braided. I some times run 20ft leaders so a barrel swivel will not work.

UNI TO UNI is most appropriate and strong.
