Logic noob Q: How to output to speakers and audio interface (headphones)?

Well you need to tell us what the FW interface you're using is first?

Did you try plugging your speakers into the 'control room' outputs (not the line outs), and your headphones into the 'heaphone' jacks? Seperate volume controls for each on the front of the device.
If you have some of those computer speakers that just plug into a headphone jack, and you don't want to plug them into the second headphone jack (maybe it's recommended not to) - you can still get a 'y' jack and plug them into the CR outs.

Im using a firewire interface to record and monitor with headphones, but say I want the mix output to go to my computer speakers as well?

There is no way in Logic to patch the output to two different audio devices. If you want to do this, you have to set up an AGGREGATE DEVICE. Then Logic will see the outputs of your interface and the built in speakers as one virtual device. Then you can patch audio to both simultaneously.
