During the install, it asked whether I wanted a desktop shortcut.

If you didn't, you can create one.

WinXP -- Open Explorer.
Find Firefox under the Program Files.
Locate and click once on Firefox.exe to hilight it.

Hold the ALT key and use the mouse pointer to pull the icon to your desktop. Afterward, you can slowly double click the new desktop icon to rename it or remove the .exe.

Alternate method.

Per above, find firefox.exe under Program Files.

Right click on firefox.exe to open the context menu. You should see an entry for ‘create shortcut’. Click on it.

It should have created the shortcut in that file list. It will appear with a small arrow and file size of about 1KB.

Use your mouse hilight, right click and hold, and pull to your desktop.

As above, you can then slowly double click to edit the filename of the desktop icon.
