To create a desktop shortcut, go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.

Then right click and hold down the right mouse button while you drag firefox.exe onto the desktop. When you let go of the right mouse button, you'll get a menu. Choose Create Shortcut Here.

To add Firefox to the Start menu, follow instructions here: Customize the Start menu

P.S. Sorry it took so long to respond to your question.

Not working... Did exactly as suggested.

I believe a few of my Windows registry files are corrupted. Having the problem with close to everything.

Thanks for the feedback.
