i think my question says it all...i downloaded firefox 5.0.1 and it went thru the process. It asked if i wanted a desktop shortcut and have it in the startup menu and i had those boxes checked. But when everything was done it isn't anywhere. I just bought a new Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 with windows 7.

Sorry to hear things went pear-shaped during the installation.

To create a desktop shortcut, please do the following.

  1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

  2. Right click the file called firefox.exe and choose "Send To", then "Desktop (create shortcut)".

Drag firefox.exe onto the Windows Start button using the right mouse button.
