mps69 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you locate firefox from Applications - Internet - Firefox, you can right click the icon, and create shortcut or add to launch bar. You might be able to drag the icon directly to the desktop. I can't check at the moment as I'm at work. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
